//Tense// our industrial masters of tomorrow!

//Tense// formed like all the best bands out of a hatred of the music they heard around them! So in 2006 they started their sound, industrial, bass, drum rhythms, Depeche Mode and sweaty angry dancefloors. Houston Texas birthed these replicants who like oOoOO have a release coming soon with the Disaro label. They also have an album "Memory" and a limited release Ep on tape out with Desire Records (available here).

One cant help but feel their music is being played in an unseen club down a back street somewhere every time you watch BladeRunner. Check out Twisted Wires to get another angle on the same sound and if that isnt enough to make you scream for robotic joy and sell your eyes for food credits then check the video below to hear them immediately! Where the singer can be heard at the begining saying "hey babe you're cute I'm gonna fuck you after the show!"

Twisted Wires are SOOOO cool!

So.. Twisted Wires, on Italians Do It Better, are amazing!

The three songs posted on their myspace go from psychadelic post punk, backed by gothic choir samples, to dark synth tech noir with giant echoing guitar parts, to spacey disco delay pedal ballad! Its like having three bands in one!

From Houstan Texas, they have a gig with Pearl Harbour and Nite Jewel
coming up in LA on the 22nd July, which would be amazing to see, (They look SO cool!)

Shame I'm thousands of miles away!

Check them out some more and keep a look out for their release! "One Night At The Raw Deal" ..its iether about to come out or already has!
