City in Ruin is a hardcore metal band from Chatham, Ontario, Canada; that currently plays in the Southwestern area. Their mission is to create and play the best damn music they know to the local community and beyond. Pat, Mike and Randy have individually played with different bands, and actually played with each other in different bands, at different times, with different people. Pat and James Browning(original lead vocalist for CIR) were the founders of the band ‘The Alliance’, with having Mike and Randy play their roll in the band as well. However during a time point Mike and Randy went off and created/joined bands such as ‘As She Wrote’; Soon later, all band projects did not seem to work out with leaving everyone at a “single” band-material status. Eventually in June of 2006, these four individuals decided to play each other again, and from the first few practices original material got slipped around with eventually turning into their own songs. From there on, City in Ruin was created. The band then started playing shows and got on their feet rather quickly. However, two weeks before hitting the studio with David C. and Trace Studios, James parted ways from the band due to style-differences. However soon later, a good friend of the band, and CIR’s roadie, Steve Caron’s twin brother - Scott, was offered to take the spot and was gladly accepted. Now they had four unique elements in one single band playing in a town of which seemed to have bad luck for bands, a town of which seems like everything gets to be ruined; like a City in Ruin. Scott Caron brings a unique, and yet an amazing “demon” like scream. Don’t fool yourself from his height. Pat Prole brings a loud, modern, “in your face” guitar sound to the stages. His head banging energy cannot be matched. Randy Rose brings a tight, full, “ballsy” bass sound; along besides that he also does back-up screaming and melodic vocals. Mike Diensch literally holds the beat of your heart rate as he hits his drums hard and with passion. He has been well known for this “cannon” like double kick. After every show, more and more people have had their heads turned on this band for their creativity, sound and live performance.
Nice. I like it.
