Satellite Citi Unveils Rain-Soaked Video For "Trouble Flower"

October 19, 2023

The Los Angeles-based hard rock duo, Satellite Citi, have today unleashed a torrential downpour of emotion with their latest single, "Trouble Flower", accompanied by a rain-soaked music video. Fans can listen to the track HERE, and watch the brand new video below.

Speaking on today's single release, Anna Gevorkian (vocals/drums) shares:

"We dived deep into metaphors and used the lyrics as a form of poetry for this song. Lyrically, it tackles mental health, negative self-talk people struggle with when dealing with depression and how a lot of people act "happy" but internalize their struggles instead of being proactive in seeking help."

Reflecting on the track, Shaunt Sulahian (guitar) continues:

"I think this is one of the most powerful songs we’ve released both musically and thematically. It’s definitely an immediate punch in the face, but it also has a ton of melody, which is the balance we always try to have when we start writing a song."

Satellite Citi, comprised of the dynamic duo Anna Gevorkian (vocals/drums) and Shaunt Sulahian (guitar), has carved a distinctive niche in the music world with their fierce sound and captivating stage presence. "Trouble Flower" is a song that encapsulates the essence of their artistry—a potent blend of raw emotion and musical prowess.

The music video for "Trouble Flower" takes this essence to new heights. Directed by the acclaimed Jorge Gonzalez, it plunges the audience into a tempestuous sea of feelings, with the band performing amid a relentless downpour. The rain, a metaphor for life's challenges, serves as the perfect backdrop for Satellite Citi's evocative lyrics and electrifying melodies.

With over 1.5 million streams on Spotify alone, Satellite Citi's continued success is undeniable. "Anxious Hearts" saw the band collaborating with renowned talents such as Lit's Taylor Carroll and Halestorm's Arejay Hale, while the track was skillfully produced by Mike Plotnikoff (known for his work with My Chemical Romance, Three Days Grace, Papa Roach). The band has additional exciting developments in the pipeline, including more new music and an upcoming comic book that will further establish the band as a force to be reckoned with. Be sure to stay tuned for more Satellite Citi news coming soon.

Satellite Citi Release New Video For "Anxious Hearts"

September 6, 2023

The Los Angeles-based hard rock duo, Satellite Citi, have today released their latest video to accompany their recent single, "Anxious Hearts". Fans can listen to the track HERE, and watch the brand new video below.

Speaking on today's single release, Anna Gevorkian (vocals/drums) shares:

"We had the honor of co-writing “Anxious Hearts” with some really incredible musicians, Taylor Carroll (Lit) and Arejay Hale (Halestorm). The concept of overcoming anxiety is really a universal one and lyrically we were able to come up with a message that we felt could resonate with so many different types of people. In a world where everyone is so divisive it feels necessary to write a song that cuts through all that."

Sharing insight as the director of the "Anxious Hearts" video, Rosie Geozalian continues:

"We wanted to imagine what the future of entertainment and filmmaking might be like. You already have the algorithm personalizing your feed. You have AR + VR experiences becoming more and more immersive. We imagined a future “cerebral reality” experience that would be tailored to each person’s fears and anxieties. You go to the theatre and the cerebral reality glasses allow you to watch your own fears as a film — imagine exposure therapy as entertainment."

With over 1.5 million streams on Spotify alone, it's no surprise that Satellite Citi have returned with another successful single. "Anxious Hearts" was not only co-written by Lit's Taylor Carroll and Halestorm's Arejay Hale, but also produced by Mike Plotnikoff (My Chemical Romance, Three Days Grace, Papa Roach). The band has more exciting news on the horizon, revolving around new music and even a comic book that will accompany their next body of work. Be sure to stay tuned for more Satellite Citi news coming soon.

Today, L.A.-based hard rock duo Satellite Citi self-releases their latest full-length effort Fear Tactics. The 10-track album showcases the band’s evolution and further cements their reputation as the next band to break big.

Helmed by producer Brad Wood (Smashing Pumpkins, Placebo, Liz Phair, Touche Amore), Fear Tactics sonically features a wide range of inspiration from Black Sabbath to Muse to Halestorm. And the message of the album thematically centers around the importance of mental health, while also representing the band’s own struggles of coping with fear and anxiety, even more apparent in today’s culture.

As Huffington Post has previously declared of the band, “Satellite Citi are on the road to delivering audiences with music that tackles important issues that our society is facing today.”

Their latest singles highlight this focal point for the band. Released in May, “Empath” is centered around the five stages of grief – Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance – and aimed to help end the stigma surrounding mental health. The acoustic version of the song premiered via MXDWN here: https://music.mxdwn.com/2021/06/11/news/mxdwn-premiere-satellite-citi-shine-a-light-on-mental-health-in-new-video-for-empath/

In late 2020, Satellite Citi also released “Antibody,” featuring Crobot’s Brandon Yeagley, dedicated to the people of Armenia and bringing awareness to the latest attacks on the country beginning in late September 2020 that killed hundreds of innocent civilians and displaced thousands more. See the evocative music video premiered by Loudwire here: https://loudwire.com/satellite-citi-antibody-video/

The band, featuring drummer/vocalist Anna Gevorkian and guitarist Shaunt Sulahian, are both Armenian-Americans born and raised in Los Angeles. They first launched Satellite Citi in 2015 and Fear Tactics continues their promising trajectory.

Fear Tactics can be ordered via the band’s Bandcamp page: https://satelliteciti.bandcamp.com/

Here’s what media have to say about Satellite Citi:

The alt-rock duo shatter expectations –American Songwriter

Expect to hear a lot from this dynamic, up-and-coming Los Angeles duo over the next few years. –MXDWN

[They] tackle dynamic lyrics and look to deliver music that one can only describe as deeply honest and surprisingly personal, all while exploring an excitingly refreshing rock n roll sound. –Alive N Loud

To celebrate the release of the album, Satellite Citi will host an all-ages album release show at Troubadour in West Hollywood, CA on Saturday, September 4. The bill also features Love Ghost and supporting acts Chasing Desolation and Hvnted.

Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door, and a percentage of ticket sales will be donated to Sweet Relief Musicians Fund and the Check Your Head Podcast in support of mental health and music industry professionals in need. Buy tickets here: https://www.seetickets.us/event/Satellite-Citi/431869

A regular fixture on the stages in their hometown of Los Angeles, Satellite Citi is joined live by two anonymous Spacewalkers on bass and guitar that further taps into the band’s curiosity of other realms and advanced life forms. The band’s name, in fact, is based off of the idea of a city, outside of our galaxy, where people communicate with their minds.

In addition to music, Anna and Shaunt love video games and writing—they are currently working on their first original sci-fi graphic novel called Spacewalker with former DC editor Jim Higgins, that will coincide with a new concept EP in 2022. Satellite Citi also has five songs featured in the recently released rock documentary Long Live Rock…Celebrate The Chaos, directed by Jonathan McHugh, that features bands such as Metallica, Korn, Slipknot, and Rob Zombie. The trailer can be viewed HERE. As well the band’s song “Getaway” is featured in the new show “The Freak Brothers,” starring Woody Harrelson, John Goodman and Tiffany Haddish.

“Musically, Fear Tactics is a hard rock record and undoubtedly heavier than our previous work. We strive to find a good balance between bringing back guitar riffs, and having memorable vocal melodies,” says the band.

As Huffington Post has declared of the band, “Satellite Citi are on the road to delivering audiences with music that tackles important issues that our society is facing today.”

The band, featuring drummer/vocalist Anna Gevorkian and guitarist Shaunt Sulahian, are both Armenian-Americans born and raised in Los Angeles. They first launched Satellite Citi in 2015 with the eloquent track “Rock Bottom” to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. Fear Tactics continues their promising trajectory.

Today, L.A.-based hard rock duo Satellite Citi premieres the acoustic video for new single “Empath” via MXDWN who says of the song, “Husband and wife hard-rock duo Satellite Citi are known for their hard-hitting riffs, but their new song ‘Empath’ shows the band’s ability to shift gears into a more introspective sound. … Expect to hear a lot from this dynamic, up-and-coming Los Angeles duo over the next few years.”

Like many of Satellite Citi’s songs that have a strong message woven throughout the lyrics and art, “Empath” is centered around the five stages of grief -- Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance -- and aims to help end the stigma surrounding mental health.

See the acoustic video for “Empath” HERE.

Get the track at Bandcamp HERE.

The band, featuring drummer/vocalist Anna Gevorkian and guitarist Shaunt Sulahian, say of the video, which features many of their family and friends: “We thought it was important to create a symbolic visual representation in our video, as the world is slowly crawling out of one of the darkest periods in modern history and there’s a responsibility that individuals have to be proactive and seek help when they are in a bad mental state. We want to join the fight to end the stigma surrounding various mental illnesses that affect so many people.”

Satellite Citi has also released an exclusive new “Empath” T-shirt with proceeds benefitting NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness). It features original artwork by Jaime Valderrama. Entitled “CHAMELEON,” it’s based on the subject of mental health and the struggles he's overcome. The T-shirt can be purchased HERE.

Gevorkian and Sulahian are both Armenian-Americans born and raised in Los Angeles. They first launched Satellite Citi in 2015 with the eloquent track “Rock Bottom” to commemorate the 100thanniversary of the Armenian Genocide. In late 2020, they returned to that important topic with the powerful song “Antibody”, featuring Crobot’s Brandon Yeagley, that premiered on Loudwire. It was dedicated to the people of Armenia and aimed to bring awareness to the latest attacks on the country beginning in late September 2020 that killed hundreds of innocent civilians and displaced thousands more.

Both “Antibody” and the original version of “Empath” are singles from Satellite Citi’s upcoming fall 2021 album Fear Tactics, which is produced by the lauded Brad Wood (Smashing Pumpkins, Placebo, Liz Phair, Touche Amore) and features a wide range of inspiration from Black Sabbath to Muse to Halestorm. Previous singles have included “Black Magic,” “Miscommunication” and “Getaway.”

As a follow-up to their acclaimed 2018 debut EP Negative Space, the new album will thematically center around the importance of mental health and represents the band’s own struggles of coping with fear and anxiety, that are even more permeated in today’s culture. As Huffington Post has declared of the band’s important messaging in their songs, which have also included songs devoted to LGBTQ+ youth, “Satellite Citi are on the road to delivering audiences with music that tackles important issues that our society is facing today.”

“Long Live Rock…Celebrate The Chaos”

Up-and-coming hard rock band Satellite Citi have teamed up with Loudwire to premiere the powerful video for new single “Antibody.” The song—featuring a collaboration with Crobot’s Brandon Yeagley—is dedicated to the people of Armenia and brings awareness to the latest attacks on the Armenian people beginning in late September 2020, that have killed hundreds of innocent civilians and displacing thousands more.

Find the single at Satellite Citi’s Bandcamp page HERE.

Satellite Citi features drummer/vocalist Anna Gevorkian and guitarist Shaunt Sulahian, both Armenian-Americans born and raised in Los Angeles. Like many first-generation Armenians and children of immigrants, they have learned about the struggles their ancestors have faced and first launched their career in 2015 with the poignant track “Rock Bottom” to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.

With the latest attacks against their home country—at a vulnerable time in 2020, amidst a global pandemic—the band partnered with their long-time director and fellow Armenian-American Rosie Geozalian to create a poignant video that spreads the message that Armenians are standing stronger than ever together and won’t be silenced. The video features a range of symbolic imagery that connects with Armenian culture and history, and are further explained in Loudwire’s story.

“Our track ‘Antibody’ lyrically is about overcoming obstacles and silencing your enemies, no matter how hard they might try to bring you down,” says Anna and Shaunt. “We were honored to have Brandon Yeagley of Crobot sing on this track with us. His voice really brought the song together musically. The music video helps us connect the song back to our motherland, Armenia. With the recent war in Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), and continuous war crimes happening to Armenian civilians, carried out by Azerbaijan and Turkey, we felt the need to let people know we are here, standing together, stronger than ever, and nothing will change that.”

Adds director Rosie Geozalian, “We had already started working on the ‘Antibody’ video when I woke up one morning to reports of the attacks occurring in Artsakh and Armenia. As members of the Armenian diaspora, the tragedies taking place consumed our thoughts and emotions; the visuals shifted to reflect that. Creating the video for ‘Antibody’ became a way of processing the ongoing cultural trauma we face as Armenians, while paying homage to our brothers and sisters risking their lives to protect the motherland.”

Brandon Yeagley of Crobot said this about his participation in the song and video: “We are all looking for a little extra boost in immunity right about now. Now, I’m no doctor but I know when Satellite Citi hit me up to be a part of their hard-hitting, slinky song ‘Antibody’ there was no hesitation. So come along for the ride—'cause if you ain’t part of the cure, you’re part of the disease!”

As part of the campaign for “Antibody,” Satellite Citi has created a T-shirt with all proceeds being donated to the Armenia Fund. It’s available for purchase here:

“Antibody” is the latest sneak preview from Satellite Citi’s upcoming 2021 album Fear Tactics, which is produced by the lauded Brad Wood (Smashing Pumpkins, Placebo, Liz Phair, Touche Amore) and features a wide range of inspiration from Black Sabbath to Muse to Halestorm. Previous singles have included “Black Magic,” “Miscommunication” and “Getaway.”

As a follow-up to their acclaimed 2018 debut EP Negative Space, the new album will thematically center around the importance of mental health and represents the band’s own struggles of coping with fear and anxiety, that are even more permeated in today’s culture. “It’s important to us to help people control and ultimately confront and overcome their fears by realizing they’re not alone in this crazy world,” says Anna and Shaunt. “And so many of us are going through the same things, the same struggles and day to day anxiety. Especially during this pandemic, it’s been such a shift in reality for us and we’re realizing how important human connection is.”

In addition to music, Anna and Shaunt love video games and writing—they are currently working on their first original sci-fi graphic novel called Spacewalker with former DC editor Jim Higgins, that will coincide with a new concept EP in 2022. Satellite Citi also has five songs featured in the upcoming rock documentary Long Live Rock…Celebrate The Chaos, directed by Jonathan McHugh, that features bands such as Metallica, Korn, Slipknot, and Rob Zombie. The trailer can be viewed HERE.

Here is what media has had to say about Satellite Citi:

“Deemed as the fresh new band to resurrect the beloved rock genre, with their own modern and exciting approach, Satellite Citi are on the road to delivering audiences with music that tackles important issues that our society is facing today.” —Huffington Post

“Satellite Citi are successful in pushing forth elements of multiple genres to create a truly unique and dynamic realm of sound. Combining Gevorkian’s melodic vocals and funk rock drumming style with Sulahian’s dynamic guitars and background in heavy metal, Satellite Citi resurrect the rock genre with a fresh and modern delivery.” —New Noise
