It all began in 2006 when Jon Weisberg, a year after parting ways with his previous band, started writing songs with a huge, heavy, yet still melodic style under the name City Archaic. Later accompanied by long time friend and previous tour manager Chad Crews, the two continued working on music together without the benefit of a singer or drummer. And so the search began.

There had been several auditions, but the fit was never quite right. In late 2007, through mutual friends, the band met Ace Alexander. At the time, Ace was already in a band of his own, but still had interest in City Archaic. After several writing sessions together, both Jon and Chad knew that Ace was the perfect fit. Luckily for them, Ace accepted their invitation to be their lead vocalist.

As time went on, it became apparent that Weisberg's style of musical songwriting worked perfectly with Alexander's style of vocal writing and performance. Although they came from different musical backgrounds, the culmination of their influences poured beautifully into the songs they wrote together. From songs like "Undone" and "Survival" which have a heavy sound with a melodic, but 'in your face' vocal sound, to songs like "Bruised" and "Come Around" which show a softer and more personal side of the band, they knew they had something special.

Finally, after countless hours of hard work and what took most of 2008, City Archaic recorded their debut album entitled "Live For Today," and it was done without any label backing or any outside financial support. The album is available now on iTunes, Amazon, and several other digital music retailers! A limited edition physical release will be available at City Archaic's upcoming shows as well.
