Incert Coin has the mettle

The year 1999 was a strangely good year for Incert Coin. The promotional vein of the Trinidadian rock industry is anaemic; cover bands have always dominated and talented original acts were never really given the proper encouragement or tools with which to craft their art professionally.

However, in the minds of Incert Coin anaemia fuels the drive to succeed… that and a heavy dose of melodic angst, mature songwriting and a solid friendship both on and off the stage. With influences such as the Deftones, Tool, Pantera and Alice in Chains to name a few, the Incert Coin sound has been crafted and revised, making feeling and structure, the two most important elements of their music, all the while allowing the heaviness of metal to brood and bite.

Utilising a dual seven-string wall-of-sound, body-shifting bass lines, conscientious drumming and vocal harmony, Incert Coin has a few tricks up its sleeves and is not afraid to let them show.

The group comprises James Amow, lead vocals; Maarten Manmohan, bass; Dion Howe, rhythm guitar, Scott Johnstone, lead guitar and Anthony Grant on drums. Incert Coin will be showing its forte at the festival which begins at midday and proceeds until 2 am. Ambrosia promises the event will be an opportunity for Trinidad and Tobago to experience and enjoy the talent of authentic international bands as well as offering a showcase for local talent across the globe.
