BEND SINISTER

Bend Sinister biography
BEND SINISTER is a rock band from Kelowna, Canada, that mixes progressive rock with indie-flavored tones. The band formed in 2001 and takes its name from a novel by Vladimir Nabokov from 1947.

Led by the distinguishable vocalist and keyboardist Dan MOXON, BEND SINISTER has gone through numerous line-up changes before settling in its current constellation with drummer Jason DANA, guitarist/backing vocalist Joseph BLOOD and bass player Matt RHODE. The band released their debut album "Through The Broken City" in 2005, followed by a self-titled EP in 2007 and their second full-length release "Stories Of Brothers, Tales Of Lovers" in 2008. This album could be classified as a follow-up concept album to their self-titled EP and is a roller coaster ride through the stories of brothers and lovers; hence the album name.

After two more EP releases, "Spring Romance" in 2010 and "On My Mind" in 2012, the band release their third full-length album "Small Fame" in July 2012. 2014 saw the release of their fourth full-length album "Animals".

BEND SINISTER takes its inspiration from bands like QUEEN, SUPERTRAMP, Elton JOHN, Billy JOEL, DEEP PURLE, ELO and THE BEATLES. Their inspirations are then mixed with a touch of modern indie sound. Highly recommended to fans of modern sounding progressive rock bands!
