Based in Vancouver, Canada, LEFT SPINE DOWN (also known by the acronym LSD) plays a brand of music called Cyberpunk that fused the sounds of Industrial, Metal, Punk and Electronica.
The band features Jeremy Inkel and Jared Slingerland of Industrial music legends FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY and also Denyss McKnight the former bass player of Vancouver Punk legends THE BLACK HALOS. The band has no shortage of firepower both on stage and in the studio.
The band self released their first album entitled the SMARTBOMB EP in June 2007, and it was met with a very frenzied reception from fans worldwide. The EP was produced by FRONT LINE ASSEMBLY/NOISE UNIT's CHRIS PETERSON.
Their full length release FIGHTING FOR VOLTAGE saw the band combining efforts with mastering giant SHAUN THINGVOLD (SKINNY PUPPY/STRAPPING YOUNG LAD/LAMB OF GOD/K-OS) and again with CHRIS PETERSON. The album was released in Canada on April 22, 2008 by Canadian label SYNTHETIC SOUNDS, distributed across Canada by Indie Pool and is set for release on September 23rd 2008 in the USA by BIT RIOT RECORDS/WTII RECORDS.
The band has been very active in the Vancouver live music scene over the last few years sharing the stage with The Birthday Massacre, Combichrist, DOA, Genitorturers, SNFU, and Chemlab to name a few. Recently they have expanded their audience with several Canadian tours which have taken them to Montreal and back. They were also asked to perform at this years' New Music West (NMW) festival in Vancouver.
