Bend Sinister Get Distorted Again

Vancouver's Bend Sinister released a digital-only EP through Distort Digital last September, and will now offer their sophomore album through Distort Light on Oct. 21.

The band began writing the disc's material after the release of their Through The Broken City debut album in 2005. Recording of the 14-track Stories Of Brothers, Tales Of Lovers finally began in February with Vancouver producer Shawn Cole. Somewhat prog-rocky lead single "The Same Things" is available through iTunes and Distort Digital and can be heard on Bend Sinister's MySpace page.
