Bent Wind was formed in Toronto, Ontario in 1969 and managed, in short order, to record and release the LP 'Sussex' that year on Merv Buchanan's Trend label in Canada.

With a limited pressing during its original run, the vinyl LP has since become a rarity in the Canadian music Collector's market. In 1989 the band, under the control of Marty Roth, reformed with new members and recorded their sophomore follow-up -- 20 years later -- called 'The Fourth Line Is...You Will'.

The band moved to CD with the release of their third album in 1996 entitled 'Shadows On The Wall'. Roth once again altered the band line-up and was also supported by a host of other musicians including Glen Jessamy, Stefan Janicki, Laura Dunn, Leslie Harwood-Jones, Chantal Legault, Cody Blacksky, Colleen Allen, Tortoise Blue, Mark Bajona, Robert Brockie, Roy Kenner and Maddie Willis.

Roth has most recently uncovered live recordings of the original Bent Wind from Ryerson Polytechnical in 1969 and is currently restoring them for a future release.
