CONTRIVED is a 5 piece rock band with principal members from Juno Award winners Wintersleep and Juno/Polaris nominees HOLY FUCK. Their latest project has led them into a sound direction incorporating their hard rock roots and expanding on their pop sensibilities. Lending a hand at the mix is Dave Newfeld (Broken Social Scene, Super Furry Animals).



"Contrived find a middle ground between Holy Fuck's instrumental chaos and the pop sensibility Wintersleep displayed on Welcome to the Night Sky. Muscular, overdriven hooks sit next to chiming verses while high pitched vocals float overhead - Blank, Blank, Blank becomes more satisfying with each listen." - exclaim magazine

"Complete musical freedom is a rare thing, and Contrived certainly takes full advantage of their unique position to deliver a record that stacks up nicely against the songs you already know and love." - Herohill.com

"Contrived are a musical force to be reckoned with. With their third album, 'Blank, Blank, Blank', they deliver a full-force knockout that is as sprawling and majestic as it is melodic and addictive." - IndiePassion.com
