Murder Ballads
Bass lord of The Murder Mystery, Ole Andreas Hagen talks about "Distress Signals" in the weekly column "Recommended By" in todays issue of Dagsavisen:
In my ears they [This Sect] sound like a friendly fight between Joy Division, Devo and At The Drive-In.
In our ears this sounds nice indeed! Thanks!

Gang of Four (Out of Six)
Oslo's largest newspaper, Aftenposten, has reviewed "Distress Signals", granting it 4 out of 6 points! This is what they had to say (our translation):FAST AND HECTIC
The guitars and desperate vocals places this in the post-punk Joy Division/Cure tradition, but there is also a more modern edge to the music. Especially the drums and the bass adds punch to the four songs. With this EP, This Sect prove they have both soul and energy. It remains to be seen if they have good material for a proper album. 4/6.

Freemasons are party people
The release party for the DISTRESS SIGNALS EP last night went really well!
We knew we were headed for a special evening when a drunken Freemason dude showed up. He had been at one of those secret gatherings at The Norwegian Freemason Society next door. The seriously wasted Freemason dude got booted out of the top secret meeting, went past the venue we were at, and got curious when he saw the poster announcing some kind of "sect". Step right in!
The dude was dressed up like a senior citizen lawyer type. His main concern was that he didn´t fit our "dress code". This was a point he put across to randomly selected sectists as he claimed to be dressed up as a "cunt". He didn´t look like one to This Sect. We´ve seen that particular part of the female anatomy, and it didn´t look anything like him. If it did, we would all be gay.
This Sect welcomes all party people. If you´re reading this, Mr. Drunken Freemason Dude: We know you left early, and we hope you got home safe. Enjoy the EP. And know that we bear no ill will to the Freemasons. Those cloaks look pretty cool, and the logo is rad. Where can we get the t-shirts? Stickers? Merchandise possibilities aplenty!
From one sect to another: a sect is a sect is a sect. Our petty differences are mere formalities. We understand. Everyone should join a sect. A common goal makes life worth living.
One million thanks to all the other sectists that showed up! You made us party like it was 1939!
