About Me

THIS SECT is a humble bunch of creepy stalker dudes. We'd like to touch you in special ways.Spastic fantastic post-punk, gloomy crooner-rawk, frenetic HC, riot-inducing art-rock and venomous pop hooks with crazy hellbent darwinoid lyrics, we cram it all together like a pileup on the highway and give it the sectist treatment.THIS SECT is a tight but welcoming unit of contortionist winos. Come party with us tonite like there's no Gomorrah.About This Sect: Cotard's Syndrome: "4 track EP from Oslo, Norway's new wavesters This Sect. Think Fugazi, Interpol crossed with Devo, PIL, maybe a touch of Flying Nun indieness!Recommended, a nice release! - Rough Trade
