City of Caterpillar is a post-hardcore group originating from Richmond, Virginia, established in 2000. Their discography includes a split release with Pg. 99, two full-length studio records, and a collection comprising demos and live performances. Their compositions often extend beyond ten minutes, blending melodic post-rock segments that escalate into intense, chaotic climaxes.
Members of the band overlapped with acts such as Pg. 99, Darkest Hour, Stop It!!, Enemy Soil, Kilara, Monotonashhfuck, and subsequently Majority Rule. The group dissolved in December 2003; following this, Jeff and Kevin became involved with Haram and created Malady and Verse En Coma alongside Ryan Parrish, while Brandon and Pat went on to form Ghastly City Sleep.
In 2016, City of Caterpillar declared a reunion tour along the U.S. East Coast after Repeater Records reissued their self-titled album. They subsequently toured Europe during the summer of 2017 and performed in Japan in the summer of 2018. In August 2022, the band announced their forthcoming album Mystic Sisters, which was released on September 30, 2022 through Relapse Records, accompanied by plans for additional tour dates.
