Country, soul and rock 'n' roll reprobates Sin City have been tearing up stages across Australia, New Zealand and Europe for the last few years, touting and touring their exceptional debut album Welcome To Sin City (2022) and the EP Something's Cookin'. Now, following the release of their recent singles Am I The One You Love and Candy (with a video featured on CMT and Juice TV), the band spill the beans on the new album and reveal new single Big City Streets, which premiered on Tower of Song on Double J and online with Country HQ.

Recorded last year on analogue reel to reel tape at Sound Recordings in Campbells Creek, VIC, the song nails an authentic rock 'n' roll-infused, honky tonk saloon shuffle that tumbles out the door and into a heady sing-along of a chorus. As songwriter Nick Armstrong explains, "The song is about moving to a major city from a small one. Specifically, it was inspired by my experience moving to London as a 20 year old from Auckland."

"Musically, it draws heavily on my country and western influences such as Gram Parsons, Daniel Romano and Buck Owens, with a harder rock and roll edge inspired by the likes of Bruce Springsteen or The Rolling Stones (think Far Away Eyes, Sweet Virginia)," Nick reveals. "When we played it with the band we played around with a nice interplay between Jack and Chris's country-style picking, which gives the song that feeling of longing for your small hometown."
