The band formed in 2001 and began playing as many bar shows as they possibly could in their home town of Kelowna, British Columbia. After their move to Vancouver BC, selling out a four-song EP, and acquiring a new drummer and guitarist, the band sought out local producer Shawn Cole to put together what is now their first full-length album Through the Broken City. The band did three consecutive nationwide tours in support of the album.
After gaining experience from the road, Bend Sinister returned to the studio to record a few new songs. These songs included the single "Time Breaks Down", which moved the band into uncharted territory and captured the attention of Distort Entertainment president, Greg Below.
In 2006, Bend Sinister switched labels to newly formed sister division of Distort Entertainment, Distort Light.
In heraldry, a bend is a band or strap running from the upper dexter (the bearer's right side and the viewer's left) corner of the shield to the lower sinister (the bearer's left side, and the viewer's right). Authorities differ as to how much of the field it should cover, ranging from one-fifth (if shown between other charges) up to one-third (if charged alone). The supposed rule that a bend should occupy a maximum of one-third of the field appears to exclude the possibility of two or three bends being shown together, but contrary examples exist.
The usual bend is occasionally called a bend dexter when it needs to contrast with the bend sinister, which runs in the other direction, like a sash worn diagonally from the left shoulder (Latin sinister means left).
Bend Sinister is the ninth studio album by English post-punk band The Fall. It was released in September 1986 by record label Beggars Banquet.
Recording and production
Bend Sinister was the third and last Fall album to be produced by John Leckie. When recording began, the band were without a drummer, as Karl Burns was fired shortly before sessions began. Ex-member Paul Hanley stepped in at first before permanent replacement Simon Wolstencroft was found. However, Leckie and Mark E. Smith argued during the recording, with Smith complaining that "he'd always swamp everything, y'know, put the psychedelic sounds over it". Leckie, for his part, drew the line at Smith's insistence that some tracks be mastered from a standard audio cassette which Smith had been carrying around and listening to on a Walkman.
Julia Adamson, who engineered some of the recording sessions, would eventually join The Fall in 1995 as a keyboard/guitar player.

Intro to Heraldry: Part II - Tinctures, charges, and the blazon
Part 2 of an introductory series to heraldry. In this video, we break down arms into their constituent parts. We list the most common tinctures, charges, ordinaries, and divisions, and then we go on to learn about blazonry by making a few of our own arms.
The following video will discuss the achievement as a whole beyond just the shield. Crests, mantling, helmets, supporters, and all those extra frills will be covered in the next video.

In the last video, we discussed the history, purpose, and context in which heraldry was used, and we unwrapped the terminology about what "coats of arms" and "family crests" really are.

The band had just released the excellent BendSinister album and during the interview Mark mentioned he was writing a play about Pope John Paul I who in 1978 had died 33 days after being elected.
