Based in Vancouver, BC, Canada; Left Spine Down (also known by the acronym LSD) is a band that plays a style of music they refer to as iPunk fusing the sounds of Industrial, Metal, Punk and Drum & Bass.[1][2]

The band features Jeremy Inkel and Jared Slingerland of Industrial music legends Front Line Assembly and Denyss McKnight former bass player of Vancouver punk music veterans The Black Halos.

The group self released their first album entitled the Smartbomb EP in June 2007[3][4][5] and it was met with a very frenzied reception from both fans and friends of the band. The EP was produced by Front Line Assembly/Noise Unit’s Chris Peterson and is currently for sale on the bands website and on iTunes.[6] Their debut LP entitled Fighting for Voltage was released April 22 2008 on Synthetic Sounds in Canada and a cross Canada tour followed in support of the album.[7][8] Bit Riot Records picked up the rights to the release of Fighting for Voltage in the USA with a September 2008 release planned.[9][10]

The band has been very active in the Vancouver, BC live music scene over the last few years sharing the stage with The Birthday Massacre, Combichrist, DOA, SNFU, Genitorturers[11], Chemlab[12] and Front Line Assembly, to name a few.

The band is personally managed by Mark Sommer of Synthetic Entertainment; one of Western Canada’s leading industrial/ebm/goth rock booking agents and concert promoters.
