Tons of bands and singers have influenced us; for their talent, for their sincerity, for not giving a damn about fucking trends, for their way of dealing with being into trends without wanting it.
Here's our songwriters Holy Trinity: Malcolm Bauld, John K. Samson and Ted Leo

Barry White on Helium for some parts.
Here's a new song. It's called One Of Many and talks about love (surprised? me neither). Filmed on February 13th 2009. We were opening that night for Passenger Action («Things To Do Before I Die» number 2 on my list, just after «Have Kids»). It will be released on our upcoming LP at some point in time, available at some place on Earth.
Here's the only song of ours your mom will love. Filmed at Bar Le Rhino (Rimouski) for an acoustic contest that we lost on October 16th 2008. It's called Obviously Abstract, who knows why.
Here's an old song from 2006. It's called I Don't Feel Wrong. It's live. It's way sped up. It's from Bar Au Lau on October 12th 2007, opening for the great Details and our biggest inspiration to date, Mr Malcolm Bauld. Totally killing.

The Modern Sins is recording (sort of...) 的最新部落文章

Encouraged by their common love of playing music together as much as possible, Jim and Nico formed The Modern Sins (then called God Is Blind) in late October 2006.
Everything started when Nico came back from an amazing trip in Winnipeg (Manitoba). He went home with tons of musical ideas that weren't common to him. He was touched there by some music styles that gave him goosebumps (but in the right way!). He came back and started writing songs on his guitar and writing lyrics about stuff that happens in life.He then called his friend Jim, because he needed someone nice enough to tell that the new songs sucked, and that even if he wanted to, he wouldn't sing nice enough to be heard by anyone. Surprisingly, Jim looked like he liked the songs and pretended that he wanted to join the band (read here «the duo») out of pity for his friend.
So they started working hard on this project, recording on Jim's laptop with borrowed and/or stolen equipment. They recorded a short four-songs demo for them and their friends. They then focused a little bit more on their punk-rock band, The Toasters Salers.
An important turn in the band's history happened when The Modern Sins played a show (Headlined by The Paperbacks and The Details, two winnipegians bands), which was never supposed to happen. They recruted two other musicians to do this then-«one-night event». But because they had so much fun and a non-anticipated nice response from the audience, Mathieu Duguay (guitars) and Marcel Desrosiers (drums) decided to stay and make The Modern Sins a permanent band for them.
On January 2008, we changed our band's name. Tired of being asked if we played metal or not, because our name sounded so metal, because God Is Blind sounded so metal and blablabla. This new name is not bad eh? Just enough neutral, but with enough personnality. And it has «The», which means we're SO professional haha.
On January 20th, Marcel quit the band. It's not because of the name tho! Life has taken him somewhere else and we all wish him good luck with everything concerning his next projects.
On February 9th, we finally made it official: WE HAVE A NEW DRUMMER! Dominic St-Pierre (ex-Crown Of War, ex-Dead By Murder) will beat the crap out of our drum kit for the next several years! Hooray!
On April 2nd 2009, after one year, one month and three weeks, Dominic St-Pierre left The Modern Sins.
Jean-Francois Lepage (The Comedown Effect, ex-30 Seconds Before You Die, ex-Price Of Blood, ex-Whatever, ex..................) is now our new drummer. He will be doing the record that is on its way.
So far, we've shared the stage with many great bands we admire. The Details (not once, not twice, but thrice!!), Great Aunt Ida, The Paperbacks, Malcolm Bauld (twice!!), Camaromance, Passenger Action and many more. Who knows who's next? Awesome bands for sure!
Don't forget to go check our other bands! Jim and Nico are two thirds of The Toasters Salers and Mathieu has his solo project called The Sad The Mad and I, plays in a duo called W.A.S.T.E. and in a great metal band called Vortex (pretty busy man!). Jean-Francois plays in a band called The Comedown Effect.
