Punk rockers City Windows features former members of The Sky We Scrape (Chicago) and Deadhand (Las Vegas). The band combines a variety of punk, indie, metal, and hardcore influences.

They released their debut EP Oxbow via La Escalera Records in summer 2020. The EP was recorded at Singing Serpent Studios with Ben Moore (Hot Snakes, Pinback, Rocket From The Crypt), mixed by Dave Holdredge (Lamb of God, Story of the Year), and mastered by Stephen Egerton of Descendents. Later in 2020, the band announced plans to play The Fest 19, running October 29 through 31, 2021, in Gainesville Florida.

Their sophomore album Velvet Divorce dropped July 27, 2023. Recorded at Singing Serpent Studios with Ben Moore (Hot Snakes, Pinback, Angels & Airwaves, Rocket From The Crypt), it was preceded by a single for a political rally cry called "The Price To Pay." According to the band, "'The Price to Pay' was written not only to illustrate and condemn the corruption and anti-democratic nature of our government and the plutocrats that hold the bulk of influence, but to also serve as a call to action that we the people are stronger in numbers and that we can organize and elect better leaders who are responsive to our needs and who are willing to redesign our institutions to be more democratic and reflect the true will of the people."
