City and Colour is an acoustic side-project fronted by Dallas Green in 2004, who is most famous for being a member of the band Alexisonfire.

The name City and Colour comes from his own name: Dallas, which is a city, and Green, which is a colour. His reasoning for the name is "It always made me feel uneasy whenever I thought about putting the album out under the name Dallas Green".

Green began releasing City and Colour songs underground, on the internet for fans to download. Eventually, he compiled and rewrote several of these songs to make the CD Sometimes. The full length debut was released on November 1, 2005 to a good reception, described by one reviewer as "dynamically gentle and vulnerable".

The cover art was designed Scott McEwan, in a tattoo-esque style; Green "still may decide to have some of them inked at a later point in time".
