The Sins are straight-up old school dark rock, with all the screaming guitars, thunderous live drums and anguished vocals that you'd expect. If you enjoy artists like The Cult and Fields of the Nephilim, The Sins might be for you...

Why this name?

We are The Sins... because everyone's guilty of them.

Do you play live?

Yup. "Special" moments include J. splitting his pants from knee to crotch, Jyri barely making it off the stage to puke, and a pissed-off Lee smashing his guitar at the Fenix Underground and ruining the stage in the process (oops)

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Sure. Earning a living doing what you love ain't a crime.

Band History:

The Sins formed in 2001 as a post-punk entity, inspired by British dark pop acts like the Sisters of Mercy and the Mission U.K., as well as American rock legends such as The Doors. While hit with a series of unavoidable lineup changes, ominous frontman Nightmare Boy and his Sins still managed to play a staggering number of live Pacific Northwest shows their first 2 years, sharing the stage with popular dark rock bands such as Gossamer and members of the legendary Kommunity FK (and also struck fear into the hearts of country pub and sports bar patrons whenever possible). Audiences from all walks of life have been captivated by The Sins' dynamic, energetic stage presence and their vigorous (and often over-the-top) showmanship.

Since the latter part of 2002, with a debut release ("The Beginning") under their belt and a newly solidified lineup, including guitar marvel Lee Tillman (of Radio Star and Abney Park) and classically trained electric violinist Jyri Glynn (of 3SKS and Genowen fame), The Sins began to command the attention of more than just the local club goers. Often compared by reviewers to influential goth-rock acts such as Fields of the Nephilim (particularly for Kris Kilian's stunning drum work) and Kommunity FK, The Sins in a few short months managed to secure favorable mention of their impressive debut CD by New York Waste Magazine, Legends Magazine, Meltdown Magazine (UK), StarVox Music Zine and goth/punk writer and photographer Mick Mercer, just to name a few. Additional glowing print reviews appeared more recently in Gothic Beauty Magazine and in
Rock Sound Magzine (UK).


Your influences?

We've try not to draw too hard from any one particular influence, but bands we've admired along the way include everything from Black Sabbath to The Cure - the Sisters of Mercy to The Doors.

Favorite spot?

Toss up between bed and the nearest pub.
