Currently working as a two piece, song writers Philthy Phil and Andy Dextrous set out on a quest of originality and no musical boundaries. Using their respected favourite bands and influences as a starting point, they branch out into creating music with a wide dynamic range and diversity, rather than the typical “in your face wall of sound” that’s prevalent in today’s musical genres.
Ranging from alternative rock with distinctly mesmerising solos to fat bass line driven floor fillers and then to experimental soundscapes that cross all musical styles, one thing for sure is that the musical chemistry between them is truly unique, resulting in a rich full sound that only Industrial Espionage can deliver.
Industrial Espionage is currently working on their conceptual EP “Sigma 6” which already has a selection of tracks available for free download. Stay tuned and watch this space for more upcoming tracks that will absolutely make you cream!
