About Me

The Infested are a 5 piece ska/core punk band born in Leeds UK around 2004. Originally a 3 piece with G on bass/vocals, Lee on guitar/vocals and Knox on drums, the band shortly recruited Chris on bass/backing vocals so G could add an extra guitar. Shortly the "Buy to Survive" demo was self released later that year, consisting of 4 badly recorded songs.
Most of 2005 was spent writing material and doing one off gigs, until we were asked to record 6 songs for Sheffield label NO-RULES Records. This CD EP, entitled "The Infested" features 6 loud, fast and angry tracks and includes some of The Infesteds classics like Frustration and Discipline. Also around this time, The Infested teamed up with Stza from Leftover Crack to do a short European tour as The Crack Rock Steady 7. This tour consisted of a set by The Infested followed by a set of Choking Victim/Leftover Crack classics fronted by Stza.
The early months of 2006 were quiet, a few fun gigs were played and some new songs began to take shape, slightly more tuneful with some harmonic backing vocals but still raw lead vocals. June 2006 was around the time Callum from Lincoln band MCD accompanied the band to take guitar duties off of Lee to enable him to focus more on vocals. This was perfect timing as the UK tour with Leftover Crack was on the horizon throughout August and Callum added some much needed "umpth" to The Infested sound.
At present, The Infested will be taking some time off gigging to write songs and record for a release on a secret US label (fingers crossed).
