I:Scintilla
Chicago’s I:Scintilla (pronounced “eye-sin-til-uh”) have spent the last decade on a constant pursuit of musical exploration and artistic refinement. Never happy with genre boundaries, the quartet has taken its metal-infused electronica signature and drawn in elements of synth pop, trip-hop, and indie electro. The band’s brand new EP “Marrow 2″ is an excellent representation of these new influences and styles.

Never happy with genre boundaries, the quartet has taken its metal-infused electronica signature and drawn in elements of synth pop, trip-hop, and indie electro. The band’s brand new EP “Marrow 2″ is an excellent representation of these new influences and styles. It features four new studio recordings that range from catchy club stompers (“Skin Tight”, “Sequins & Pills”) to groovy sludge (“Ruin”) to cinematic electro-rock (“Drag Along”). The EP includes four remixes that also traverse a spectrum of genres: funk, club-friendly EBM, and even a hint of dubstep.
The band is led by dynamic frontwoman Brittany Bindrim, whose words, melodies, and emotive vocals have resonated with a devoted and growing fan base. Rounding out the lineup are Jim Cookas (guitar/programming), Vincent Grech (drums), and Brent Leitner (guitar/programming). Over the years the band has established a solid reputation as a live act with their high energy shows that feature a mix of rock and electronic elements.
I:Scintilla self-released their debut album “The Approach” in 2004. Through relentless promotion and a strong online presence, the group soon attracted attention from established indie labels and eventually signed with Belgium-based Alfa Matrix in early 2006. Their first set of releases included the EP “Havestar” (2006) and full-length album “Optics” (2007). Both efforts managed to chart on Germany’s Deutsche Alternative Charts (DAC) with the former reaching #13 on the singles chart and the latter #6 on the albums chart. They soon followed with the DAC-charting EP “Prey On You” (2009) and full-length album “Dying & Falling” (2010). I:S returned in 2012 with two digital singles (“Swimmers: Remixed” and “Skin Tight”) and an EP of acoustic songs called “Marrow 1.”
Other notable accomplishments include festival appearances in the United States and Europe, most notably at Dragon*Con in 2012 and 2010 and at Germany’s Wave Gotik Treffen in 2007. They also appeared on the long-running independent music program JBTV in 2012 and 2007 and have been featured in nearly every alternative music magazine in Germany and several in England, Belgium, and Italy. In 2008 the band hit the road with darkwave mainstays The Cruxshadows for an extensive three-month U.S. tour that brought their live show to every corner of the United States.

Cursive Eve
I:Scintilla Lyrics
You were born wrapped in the pages
The words bind your mind and body
A false comfort of thin paper
Youâ??re claimed as unclean property
They say you need guilt to be good
Your brothers all remain blameless
Heart of snares and nets, hands as bands
Classified as a nameless mass
Donâ??t look down on me
I donâ??t look up
Kneel
Here youâ??re not scared to die
Beg
Those dogs will lick and drink you dry
Kneel
Eat the pretty cursive lie
Beg
And you will not be scared to die
They say â??In you lives an Eveâ?? and
â??Thy desire rules over theeâ??
â??Thou shall not let witches liveâ??
The fiction binds your mind and body
Give you away to male angels
The leaders all remain shameless
Wash away rains ancient marking
Please beg yourself for forgiveness
Don't look down on me
I don't look up
Must thy sorrow multiply
Thy conception in sorrow
Thou shall live in the silence
With all subjection
He may hear false answers
He lets the voices in
Must thy sorrow follow
Visions in his head

This song is about a negative view towards Christianity
Salem Corriea
Apologies but it actually appears to be a negative song about religion, specifically Christianity. The lyrics are presenting the belief as ludicrous. No offense taken I hope, this is not an attack on any belief.
