The Sinking Citizenship were an indie rock/art rock band, formed in 2002 in Melbourne, Australia.

Career

After forming in 2002 and playing the local scene in Melbourne, Australia, the band began in 2003 to gain an amount of attention, their self-released first EP ("The Sinking Citizenship EP") debuting at number 2 in independent radio, with strong support from local and national radio stations (including Xfm London) leading to a sell-out launch. [ [http://www.cargorecords.co.uk/artist_zoom.php?artist=730] - Cargo Records page about the band] The band recorded their first album, Broadcasting Germs, in the second half of 2003, using mostly equipment 'borrowed' from others without their knowledge. [ [http://www.roughtrade.com/site/shop_detail.lasso?search_type=sku&sku=259437] - Rough Trade album details] The album was released in 2004 on UXB Recordings, and in April 2005 was released in the UK and much of Europe on Sweet Nothing Records, distributed by Cargo Records. In June, a limited edition (500 only) single, "Shake" was released in the UK on Fantastic Plastic Records. The band then recorded their second full-length album, "Delete then Repeat", released in 2006 on UXB Records.
