History

Charnier and Pomerleau have been active in Montreal’s local alternative music scene,[3] particularly within the techno industrial outfit Insurgent. Their first album, Shaper and Mechanist, was released in 2001, and was a theme album based on work of novelist Bruce Sterling.[4][2]

In 2005 they released two singles, as well as an album, Pattern Recognition. Reviews were mixed.[5][6][7] Their music was released on Artoffact Records and licensed in Europe to Alfa Matrix. In 2008 the band played at the Kinetik Festival, and their single "Lolife" was included on a compilation CD, KINETIK FESTIVAL VOLUME 2.
