Sacramento, Calif. – Sacramento alt-industrial outfit TINFED revisit the closing chapter in their discography with DESIGNATED RIVALS REDUX, an expanded edition of the band’s 2003 remix collection, arriving Sept. 18 via Minus Head Records.
The 18-song release features remixes and collaborations from the long out-of-print release, including “DANGERGIRL feat. Chino Moreno” who was originally credited as C-Note, as well as the unreleased song “ROLLERSKATES.”
“Rather than just revisiting the past, I wanted to give DESIGNATED RIVALS a treatment it always deserved,” says TINFED co-founder, and current member of Deathvalleyhigh, Reyka Osburn Bigfeather. “The new master and nitrous booster mixes open up the throttle on our industrialized soundscape. Songs like ‘DANGERGIRL’ and ‘CRYSTALLIZED’ can finally be heard at 600 bhp.”
A preview of the upcoming release is available now with “DANGERGIRL (feat. Chino Moreno)”: link.
Formed in Sacramento in 1992, TINFED emerged from the city’s underground alongside peers including Deftones, Far, and Will Haven. Over three studio albums, the band continually evolved its sound, blending industrial, alternative rock, and electronic influences before releasing Designated Rivals in 2003 and subsequently disbanding.
The quartet featured Reyka Osburn Bigfeather (Deathvalleyhigh, Ghostride), Eric Stenman (Barbarians of California), Rick Verrett (Team Sleep), and Matt McCord (Tycho, Cake).
