History and motivation[edit]
Since their formation in 2016, the band has been tackling mental health issues through their music. They have made it their mission to fight stigma and provide a "group therapy dynamic."[1][5][6][7][4]
The band's name Citizen Soldier is the band's attempt to personify the struggles being fought within, and the band's goal to shine a light on the everyday struggles of those who feel overlooked and unappreciated.[8][9][10][11]
In 2017, after a few singles, the band initially released just one EP[8][12][13] before releasing their first album, Relentless, in 2019. The next album Down the Rabbit Hole was already released in 2020[14], followed by the two-part album This Is Your Sign Part I in 2021 and This Is Your Sign Part II in 2022.[15]
In May 2022, Citizen Soldier announced their fifth album, Scarecrow, with another 18 songs. The complete album was released on 14.12.2022.[16][17][18]
Since 2020, the band has also distinguished itself primarily through the continuous release of new music.[19] Therefore, the band released the songs of new albums as singles first before being released collectively as an album.[20][21]
In 2023 they accompanied the band Smash Into Pieces on their tour through North America and Canada.[22] Together they recorded an acoustic version of the song Six Feet Under from Smash Into Pieces.[23][7]
