in contra.

Experimental/Post-Rock band from Vancouver, B.C. Jordan Bennett, Nathan Bennett, Shawn Flanagan-Fortin, and David Gurtina started playing together late october of 2004. A friend of Shawn's was putting together a show at New Westminster Secondary and asked him if he'd be able to get together a band to play. Two weeks and 4 songs later, According To Who was born. Later the band would change their name to in contra. Seven years later, all of the original members are still with the band. Their long history has allowed them to hone in on their unique style and become a tight-knit wolfpack. Having been compared to such bands as Explosions In The Sky, Pink Floyd, and My Bloody Valentine, in contra. has established a distinctive yet familiar sound. Their songs range from spirited and upbeat to grungy and ominous, which demonstrates each of these young musicians' wide array of talents. As with every band, the members of in contra. have experienced their fair share of trials and hardships. However, their determination and love for their craft has compelled them to push through the challenges and cast a new vision of what music can be.
