The Districts are a band that never stops moving. Popular Manipulations is an accurate
representation of how much Robby, Braden, Connor, and Pat have grown, individually and as
one solid unit. Theyve fallen in love and had their hearts broken and put back together
again. Theyre not the young underage band anymore, theyve stepped out of their comfort
zone and have come face to face with things that are so much bigger than them.

Popular Manipulations is life in the present. The way Robby belts from the depths of his
chest compliments Pats crooning guitar while Braden and Connor lock in with a rhythm
section so thick you could slice it with a knife. The songs are so visceral and compelling they
make you like youre experiencing every emotion at once. You can wade through the lyrical
themes of manipulation, possessiveness, and anxiety or float among their dark and dreamy
arrangements. Each song stands alone on its own but the synergy between them as a whole
is explosive.

The Districts will tour throughout the coming year in support of Popular Manipulations
including dates with My Morning Jacket. Theyll make stops at Lollapalooza, Osheaga,
Reading and Leeds Festivals, and more. Their live show is not to be missed. Every song is epic
and heart-stopping.
