Shiv-R - Pharmaceutical Grade (Syndroid Remix)

Vancouver, Canada has always had a split musical personality, being home to both electronic/industrial bands such as Skinny Puppy and Front Line Assembly and bloody-knuckled DIY punks like DOA and SNFU. In Left Spine Down (also known simply as LSD), the two are fused into what LSD calls cyberpunk.

Formed by frontman Kaine Delay and guitarist Matt Girvan and later adding keyboardist Jeremy Inkel of Front Line Assembly, the band has no shortage of sonic firepower. Their sound is catchy yet abrasive, melodic yet fist-pumping, with detailed electronica-style programming and an "eff you" punk attitude.

The band's first EP, 2007's Smartbomb, met with a frenzied reception from fans and critics worldwide. Following on its heels in 2008 was their first full-length release, Fighting For Voltage, both produced by Chris Peterson.

2009 saw the band releasing two remix albums. The first, Voltage 2.3 Remixed & Revisited, featured remixes from legends and big hitters of the industrial scene including KMFDM, Tim Skold, Combichrist, Download, and The Birthday Massacre. The second, Smartbomb 2.3: The Underground Mixes, featured artists such as mind.in.a.box, Dismantled, Cyanotic, Decree, and Helalyn Flowers, just to name a few.

LSD has toured extensively: across Canada with SNFU; and North America with Al Jourgensen's Revolting Cocks in 2009 and again in 2010 with 16volt and Chemlab. 2010 also found a new heavy-hitting drummer joining Left Spine Down, Galen Waling.

As 2010 wound down, Left Spine Down hunkered down to spend the winter in the studio with industrial and alternative mastermind producer Dave "Rave" Ogilvie (Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson) on a new album, Caution. Caution marks LSD’s debut on electronic powerhouse label Metropolis Records and it will be released in August 2011.

While working on Caution, Left Spine Down released a video for their cover of Joy Division’s "She's Lost Control" to Canada’s MuchMusic in January of 2011, directed by Troy Sobotka. The video’s debut on VampireFreaks.com racked up over 400,000 views in the first two weeks. LSD and Sobotka will pair up again for Caution’s lead video, “X-Ray.”

In late 2011, Skinny Puppy lead singer Nivek Ogre's side project ohGr announced a December 2011 West Coast USA and Canada tour consisting of nine performances supported by Left Spine Down.

In 2012, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult announced their 25-year anniversary tour covering over 30 dates in the USA tour featuring direct support by Left Spine Down.

After the Back From Beyond Tour with My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult in 2012, the band took a hiatus to focus on other projects; Kaine Delay kept Left Spine Down active, with appearances both on stage and on record, by supporting major acts such as The Soft Moon and 3TEETH at local gigs, as well as efforts for cancer benefits, namely the Electronic Saviors compilation series and the annual Bowie Ball, a yearly tribute festival in Vancouver for charity in honour of fallen rock legend David Bowie, who died of Liver Cancer in 2016. Galen Waling went to join industrial legends the likes of PIG, Lords of Acid and En Esch (ex-KMFDM) across the world as a live drummer, Matt Girvan went on to work at a local venue while working on his own music, and Jeremy Inkel left the band in 2016, continuing to work with Front Line Assembly until his sudden death in January 2018. 

The band had announced a new lineup in 2021 and are hard at work on a "brutal" EP with Kurt Maas (Deny Your Maker). A new single is also currently in the works.
