   About CTRL

Ctrl debuted in 1998 with Secure The Shadow. Over the next eight years, the band released three more acclaimed albums, and appeared on various compilations. 2009 saw the release of their fifth offering, Lost In Static. It allows the unique blend of pop-tinged electro, driving beats and signature guitar to remain the staples of their sound. The band continues to grow with each new incarnation, while carefully tipping a hat to the founders of style. The band is often augmented by long-standing compatriots. Since inception, CTRL has performed more than 70 shows, with such notable acts as: Covenant, VNV Nation, Funker Vogt, Assemblage 23, Icon Of Coil, Combichrist, Chemlab, Information Society, London After Midnight, Cruxshadows, Voltaire, Imperative Reaction, Stomkern, and Iris, as well as many others.
