Sextile biography

Sextile is an American post-punk band from Los Angeles, California. The band consists of founding members Brady Keehn (vocals, guitar, electronics) and Melissa Scaduto (drums, electronics, guitar). The band takes its name from the aspect of the same name in astrology. Musical style Sextile's sound has been described as post-punk and electronic rock. Their debut album featured an "occult-inspired post-punk style" that blended industrial, surf punk, psychobilly and ambient music; the band drew influences from Christian Death, Coil, Brian Eno, The Cramps and The Haxan Cloak during this period. AllMusic critic Heather Phares thought that the record "gave deathrock some new life" while featuring "descending riffs, martial beats, and outbursts that light up the darkness like flares." Their second album, Albeit Living, marked a change in style with a synth-punk sound that was likened to the works of Circle X, Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft and Chrome. Michael Toland of The Austin Chronicle wrote that the record collects "post-punk's angular chords, synth-pop's buzzing colors, No Wave's brash indifference, and goth's pessimistic glower." Its follow-up, 2018's 3 EP, showcased further embracement of electronics while introducing elements from EBM and dark wave. The band's third studio album, Push, has showcased significant influences from electronic dance music.
