WRECKAGE OF THE MODERN CITY SPOTLIGHTED ON MIDWESTBANDS.COM 

wreckage of the modern city is one of three bands to be featured as part of the "April 2003 Metal Meltdown" 
on midwestbands.com.  this site covers music acts from Colorado to Kentucky.  here's what they had to say: 
     
"As real metal comes in different forms with different properties; stainless steel, pewter and 
      rusted iron to name a few, so does metal music.  Included in the mix of the [2003] Metal Meltdown 
      is West Des Moines, Iowa’s Wreckage of the Modern City, because we felt that they represent a 
      movement that has been prevalent with bands such as Nine Inch Nails, Tool, and Perfect Circle; 
      a movement that includes metal guitars, interesting rhythms and experimental sounds.  It is an 
      interesting mix, and it takes everything in a new, very powerful direction.  Members of this band 
      have diverse influences and tasks; all are very skilled musicians, who also meld technology with 
      their talents. The songs are well-written, and very polished. Their web site is also top-notch with 
      a great player for their music which includes lyrics!"
