Bend Sinister on single BIG STAR:
“Big Star" started as an impromptu jam session captured on an iPhone voice memo and left to simmer for months, if not years. Calling from the realms of Deep Purple and 70's organ-rock, the song fit the vibe of either giving it your all or getting off the pot. Rock and roll life is a hard life so suck it up and pay your dues!
Bend Sinister on Mostly Great Things:
Some dudes get older and do something like keeping an old muscle car in the garage that they go work on from time to time. We... have an indie rock band.... So I guess this record is the result of a few years of tinkering in the shop. At some point in 2022 we made a giant playlist with a bunch of songs from Styx, the Doobie Brothers, Herbie Hancock, April Wine, Funkadelic.. really whatever we were feeling and just got to work. This record is the result. Nothing too fancy, just some good times, rock and roll and a few guitar solos!
Produced by regular collaborator Ben Kaplan (Rare Americans, Five Alarm Funk), Mostly Great Things, the band’s first full-length album since 2018, acts as a triumphant return for Bend Sinister. Mostly Great Things is set to release on April 12th, 2024 via Cordova Bay Records. MORE
