New Music From The Infadels
Infadels go from electro obscurity to indie infamy.
Ah, summertime. A time when a young man's thoughts turn to fancy, a young woman's feelings turn to flight and a young bands' ambition turns toward the stadium.
London based electro-rock group Infadels have come a long way from the humble beginnings of a one-off single. Formed in 2003 as a form of "catharsis," Infadels gained surprising momentum in their homeland. Hailed by BBC 1 DJ John Peel, and employing the DIY ethic of most bands these days, the debut album We Are Not The Infadels showcased a sound heavy on the break beats, but with the pop chops of The Cars.
Their follow-up album Universe In Reverse sees a band ready to fill up Wembley Stadium. With the earthy-anthem tones of early James accented by the reassuring synths of Carter USM, these songs could easily be sung housewives or drunken hooligans at the next World Cup. Infadels latest single, "Free Things For Poor People", is as hopeful sounding as the title sounds, and should have you nodding in quiet civic pride.Posted by Joe Roth on Jun 25, 2008 @ 6:35 am
