Bio
Sinsect is a hard-hitting industrial strength fusion of power-noise, EBM and drum & bass.

“In Heaven’s Lounge, there were three bands playing: Fractured Transmission, Sinsect, and Endif.; all fell within varying degrees of the spectrum of rhythmic noise and power electronics. Although we arrived too late for Fractured Transmission’s set, we got there just in time for Sinsect to take the stage. The majority of the set consisted of songs off Bug Life (Crunch Pod records), and James Ashley’s brand of aggressive, hard-hitting drum and bass-infused powernoise kept the audience in a daze, and the gritty metallic crunch shook the floor. This was my second time seeing Sinsect (the first time back in February at the Terrorbyte festival in Austin,TX), and I have to say this performance was even better; it was a fitting spectacle from a project Eric of Cryogen Second once tongue-in-cheek branded the “Foghat of powernoise.””
