City Creed: From Argentina to Nashville, “Barrel of Her Gun” & Building It Their Way

On Episode 322 of Outside The Round, Matt Burrill sits down with Mark and Andre of City Creed for their first-ever podcast appearance. The longtime childhood friends share their journey from growing up together between Argentina and Florida to experimenting with rock, hip-hop, pop and eventually finding their lane in country music. From Guitar Hero and homemade beats to building their own studio and recently establishing a home base in Nashville, the guys break down the unconventional road that shaped City Creed. The conversation dives into their years as independent artists, building a massive audience through covers before making the risky decision to start over and focus on original music. They talk about learning how to make themselves impossible to ignore, discovering their love for storytelling through songs like “Nights and Days” and “Gambling Man,” and why maintaining complete control over their creative process has been such an important part of their identity. Of course, the guys tell their side of the wild story behind “The Barrel of Her Gun” with Cloe Hubbard — from writing the back-and-forth murder-ballad-style duet during a spontaneous writing trip to watching a social clip explode and scrambling to finish the record in Argentina within days. They also talk about their loyalty to the team that has been with them since the beginning, reaching millions of listeners around the world and preparing to finally take City Creed from the studio to the live stage.
