About
The (International) Noise Conspiracy (abbreviated T(I)NC) was a Swedish rock band formed in late 1998. The lineup consisted of Dennis Lyxzén (vocals), Inge Johansson (bass), Lars Strömberg (guitar), and Ludwig Dahlberg (drums). The band was known for its punk and garage rock influences, along with its passionate left-wing political stance. Until 2004, guitarist/organist/keyboardist Sara Almgren was also part of the group. Dennis Lyxzén formed The (I)NC shortly after the breakup of his previous band, Refused. The (I)NC drew on the musical roots of at least four other bands, including Totalt Jävla Mörker (Johansson), Separation (Strömberg), Saidiwas (Dahlberg and Almgren), and Doughnuts (Almgren). In 2007, Inge Johansson also played with the band The Most.

Influenced by a quote from 1960s folk singer Phil Ochs, lead singer Lyxzén stated that the band aimed to blend music and politics into "a cross between Elvis Presley and Che Guevara." Additionally, according to the liner notes of their debut album, The First Conspiracy, the band sought to challenge music's role as a Spectacle—a concept derived from Guy Debord's work, The Society of the Spectacle.
