CityWide is an alternative rock band based in Philadelphia. The two-year-old quintet is composed of Emily Goldenberg, Ben Manning, Evan Brink, Ray Pomponio, and Andrew “Fred” Frederick, formed in 2019 after meeting at a gathering hosted by Emily, who became the band’s lead singer and frontperson.

When the group began writing original music for One Hundred Thousand Dollars, their first EP, a folk-rock influence became apparent that drove a mellower, humble sound, best exemplified in the track One Day. Meddling Kids, the band’s first full-length album, features ten new songs that personify the band’s heightened excitement and creativity. From the hard-hitting percussion and guitar tracks heard in Memoirs of a Prom Queen to the sophisticated vocal interplay in Wanting More, the group’s latest work reaches a wide range of sonic interests.
