Sinch consists of five core members that come together to create, to construct, and deconstruct the art in their surroundings. Using guitarist Tony Lannutti's ominous guitar tones and singer Stem's ability to switch, with ease, from soft, passionate melodies into taut unnatural screams, the band steadily creeps its way into explosions. The intensity of emotions erupts through the group's collective pores. With Mike Abramson's driving bass lines and Dan McFarland's intricate drumming providing both the engine and fuel, there is just something special about this band that you can't quite put your finger on, and maybe don't want to.
Anchored in the Philadelphia suburbs, Sinch's popularity has grown year after year. With the March 22, 2005 release of Clearing The Channel on Rock Ridge Music, the band continues on its journey and takes the next giant leap. The 11-track album is replete with haunting melodies, lashing riffs, and slicing lyrics; it's a shining example of modern hard rock. Co-produced by Sinch and Drew Mazurek (Linkin Park, Nothingface, Dog Fashion Disco), Clearing The Channel features such tunes as "Silence Broken," "Dead Sentinels," and "Hydroplane," showcasing the band's passion, talent, and commitment to using technology to enhance the musical experience.
The undeniable proof of this facet of the band's arsenal is Jay Smith, the fifth member of Sinch. In order to add a visual element to the performance, Smith invented and patented the Viditar, a full-on editing console contained in a device that looks much like a Lucite guitar. Onstage, armed with this "ocular noise machine" and a hard drive full of CNN footage and odd visual loops (like Osama Bin Laden morphing into Jesus morphing into Hillary Clinton), Smith edits and cuts at breakneck speed on stage, playing alongside the musicians, sweating out each and every drop of video brilliance. His contribution is essential, creating palpable connections between the images, the lyrics, and the sound. The full multi-media spectacle is the true Sinch experience.
By taking chances mixed with equal doses of innovation, the Sinch boys have since been dubbed the "brothers of invention" by Philadelphia Weekly and continue to evolve their already intriguing live show with each and every performance. For tour dates and more information, visit www.sinch.net.

Sinch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'm aware, yet so afraid I'll make mistakes I'll always regret,
And by the way, would it be O.K., if we went our separate ways, just to see
I don't want to hide the truth, but I can see you through jaded eyes my faded broken gaze
It strays away, and I am afraid that I'll make mistakes I'll always regret
And by the way, would it be O.K., if we went our separate ways
Cause I can't breathe
Sometimes I think that these chains can be broken
And by the way, would it be O.K., if we went our separate ways
To see if in time the shades are drawn back again
The light reflects upon what might have been
And I will be here cause I don't mind waiting
In Sinch's song "Plasma," the singer expresses his reluctance to confront his emotions and acknowledge the challenges in his relationship. He admits to himself and to his partner that he does not want to hide the truth and pretend that his feelings do not exist, but he is afraid of making mistakes that will lead to regret. He feels a certain emotional distance and detachment from his partner, seeing her through "jaded eyes" and feeling that her words are insincere. The singer considers the possibility of going their separate ways to test if they truly belong together in the long run. The chorus asserts the suffocating feeling of being stuck in chains and searching for ways to break free. Despite all of this, he is willing to be patient and wait for the right moment to come and for the truth to be revealed.
Line by Line Meaning
I don't want to feel this way, I don't want to pretend that these feelings don't exist
I am acknowledging my feelings, but I don't want to fake them
But I'm aware, yet so afraid I'll make mistakes I'll always regret,
I am conscious of my actions, yet I fear making errors I'll regret forever
And by the way, would it be O.K., if we went our separate ways, just to see
Can we split up, just to test the waters
I don't want to hide the truth, but I can see you through jaded eyes my faded broken gaze
I don't want to conceal what's true, but my distorted sight leads me to see you differently
It strays away, and I am afraid that I'll make mistakes I'll always regret
My attention wanders, and I fear I'll commit irreversible blunders
And by the way, would it be O.K., if we went our separate ways
Again, can we split up?
Cause I can't breathe
I'm suffocating, I feel trapped
Sometimes I think that these chains can be broken
Sometimes I believe that I can escape from this constriction
And I can see your eyes, your lying through your teeth and I'm aware, this isn't fair
You're not truthful with me, and I can sense it. It's not equitable
And by the way, would it be O.K., if we went our separate ways
Once more, can we split up?
To see if in time the shades are drawn back again
To give us space and time, and see if love returns
The light reflects upon what might have been
We will look back on what could have been
And I will be here cause I don't mind waiting
I'll wait for you, I won't mind
