About this album
No Mean City is a gritty, muscular hard rock album that finds Nazareth sharpening their sound without losing the melodic punch that made them stand out. Issued in 1979, it arrived as the Scottish band extended their hard-rock formula into darker, tougher territory, with driving riffs, rough-edged vocals and a stronger sense of urban tension. The album includes May the Sunshine, one of its best-known moments, alongside longer-form pieces that show the group pushing beyond straightforward single-minded rock. It captures Nazareth at a point where heaviness and accessibility were still working hand in hand.
