REIN[FORCED] is

Jim Semonik   [vocals]
D. A. Turner   [synthesizers]

     After the implosion of the band Forced in 2003 singer/songwriter Jim Semonik recruited the help of good friends D. A. Turner and Ben Bloom (of Agnes Wired for Sound) to continue the spirit and sound of the band. Thus Rein[Forced] was born. Long time friend Cory McRae, of the band Singine, has also lent his vocal talents to the band. After many successful live shows since 2003, the guys are have completed their next full length, "Futile Longings of a Condescending Man." Semonik describes the sound as an evolution from the Forced days and the next logical step for the band. The album is a mix of hard EBM/dark electro with light touches of drum and bass and can be purchased from DSBP.
     "I feel that DSBP and Optikon are the best labels in the American market for what we are doing, working with them has been nothing but positive", Semonik says.
     In the meantime, Jim has lent his vocals to the new Andraculoid album "Imbalance" (also on DSBP/Optikon). Other collaborations include vocal work on the new Deathline Int'l album (COP Int'l), more Andraculoid and a project called Assassinator (which could include members of Diverje, Christ Analogue, Andraculoid, Acumen Nation and I Parasite).
     Forced / Rein[Forced] have shared the stage with such talent as Pigface, Control.Org, Funker Vogt, Hanzel Und Gretyl, Bile, Voodou, Chris Connelly, Icon of Coil, Lost Signal, Zeromancer, Bella Morte, Deathline Int'l, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, Bamboo Crisis, E-Craft, Andraculoid, Acumen Nation, Celldweller, DJ Acucrack, Ego Likeness, Carfax Abbey, and XPQ-21.
