Artist History Formed in 2000 as side project to LowPass Frequency, Forced combines elements of EBM and Electro Industrial. We have been putting together songs for only about 12 months now, but David Wallin brings three years of experience in making industrial music. We seek to make dancy, aggressive and sometimes depressing songs. All of us are industrial freaks - Jim, with over 1800 industrial CDs is a DJ in the Pittsburgh area. Matt, with little over 800 CD's is also an aspiring DJ, who also has a college radio show at the university of Pittsburgh. Together, we draw from a wide variety of influences. We have played several shows locally and have been well recieved.
