  • Cleveland-Lorain-Elyria, OH (1888PressRelease) March 17, 2024 - "Two" features a collection of nine tracks that traverse the spectrum of rock, from the driving energy of "Forgotten Heroes" to the soulful serenity of "Home". The band is particularly excited about "Forgotten Heroes", "Join the Fight", and "Rain" a powerhouse set of tracks destined to captivate audiences with its raw intensity and infectious hooks.

    The album features Snowdon's hand raised in a V with palm facing inwards, also known as the "two-finger salute" which is a quintessentially English gesture of defiance and more commonly used than the rude middle finger gesture in Snowdon's native land. Legend has it the long bow archers of Medieval England were captured by the French and their two fingers were cut off rendering them useless. So, the two-finger salute shows you still are deadly and ready to fight! Churchill also used this sign during WWII as a sign for victory!

    Another notable highlight of "Two" is the band's approach to its production process. Guy Snowdon & The Citizens launched a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund the vinyl production at Discmakers and enlisted the expertise of Geoff Pesche, a renowned Abbey Road mastering engineer who has lent his talents to iconic acts such as Richard Hawley, Dire Straits, and Page & Plant. Backers of the Kickstarter campaign are not only receiving copies of the album but also earning credits on the album covers, a testament to the band's deep connection with its fanbase.
