One of the absolute best bands in Canada at the moment, Vancouver’s Bend Sinister proudly blurs the lines between seemingly incompatible genres of music throughout their latest record Animals. Album opener Best Of You is a progressive pop opera (think Queen) while I Got Love is nothing short of a Deep Purple-influenced gospel rave up. While these descriptions might leave you scratching your head, the band makes it work so incredibly well that you will find yourself sucked into their catchy melodies in no time. In a world of copycat artists, Bend Sinister stands out as a true original.
