We are incredibly excited to share with you this amazing single “Parasite City” from Dallas/Philadelphia-based electronic-pop band Welcome Center. The song has unique vibes and comes with an outstanding dark music video! The lyrics are so original and mesh with the vocal melodies perfectly. The energy is beautiful and there is a great level of songwriting that shines up through this record. The vocalist has one of the best and most powerful voices we’ve ever heard and his performance on this track is more than professional which shows how talented he is. We enjoy listening to this song until the last second every time we turn it on, the guitars are so enjoyable and the drums are amazing. The production here is polished, smart and brought this song to a whole new level. Welcome Center is a skilled and professional band and their music is creative, very enjoyable, and sets them apart from the crowd. We hope you love this track as much as we do!

ABOUT THE BAND:
Welcome Center is a Dallas/Philadelphia-based electronic-pop band that formed in 2017. Jesse Smith and Aaron Sternick write, record, and produce all of the band’s music from Dallas and Philadelphia, respectively – a long-distance collaboration only made possible by 14 years of friendship and a cloud storage account.
One of the very first songs the band wrote together, 2019’s “Is This All There Is?”, embodies what makes their camaraderie click: the buoyant rhythms of early New Order, the throbbing house-influenced bass, and the existential dread of DFA records, meditating on the banality and meaning of materialism. PopMatters called it an “instant hit.” Central Track placed it among the top 20 songs released by a Texas band in 2019.
On July 17, 2020, Welcome Center will release This House Will Be Filled With _____. The EP digs deeper into what the duo built on “Is This All There Is?” – five tracks of rhythmic grit, glimmers of swirling analog flourishes, and Smith’s trademark moody and introspective lyrics, recently compared by NPR’s KXPN as “equal parts Gibbard and Robert Smith.”
The band postponed its summer/fall tour of 2020 and has re-focused its efforts on writing/recording a string of singles throughout 2020. They are hopeful to pick back up touring in early 2021.
