(2021 – now)

Meaning Bandname: The name Frontsector originated from a little booklet, our frontman Sil Zijlstra had laying around in his house. The booklet was a magazine made during world war two by the Dutch resistance movement. The magazine contained poetry and songs to be shared among the people, as moral comfort during desperate times.

Drummer Siebren Tammenga, bass player Haico and guitarist Dylan Hayes former band failed because of various reasons. The three musicians were looking for a new frontman, and Sil Zijlstra was a natural. After only one rehearsal it was set in stone, and the band came to be.
