Vancouver’s Bend Sinister are gearing up for the March 11 release of their new album, Animals, and to ramp up excitement Crave is proud to premiere their new video for the single “Teacher”. If you dig a little punk/psych spin in a classic rock foundation that would serve as a damn fine skydiving soundtrack, you’ve come to the right place.
The 10-track album is the follow up to the band’s critically acclaimed debut, 2012’s Small Fame. Recorded in San Diego at Signature Sound, Animals was helmed by Grammy-nominated producer Joe Marlett, who worked closely with the quartet, allowing the band to continue their penchant for infectious melodies mixed with soaring guitars and a crushing B3 organ.
