Left Spine Down

Left Spine Down came out of Vancouver in 2003 with a sound built to hit hard. Industrial, punk, metal and drum and bass all got thrown together into something the band called iPunk: fast, loud, catchy and made for the stage.

Frontman Kevin Gibb led the band with Jeremy Inkel on synths and programming. Jeremy's sound design shaped Left Spine Down from the start, and his talent also made him a key member of Front Line Assembly, where guitarist Jared Slingerland later joined him. Guitarist Denyss McKnight rounded out the lineup over the years.

The albums Fighting For Voltage and Caution, along with a string of remix releases, built a loyal following, and the band earned a reputation as one of the most explosive live acts in North American industrial.

Jeremy Inkel passed away in January 2018 at just 34. His loss was felt across the entire industrial scene, and his work remains at the heart of everything Left Spine Down does.

In 2021 Left Spine Down joined Re:Mission Entertainment for The Fall (RE028). "Bithead 2.0" followed, along with a run of "Bithead" remixes and the single "Lockdown" in 2022.
