In-Discover - Infract, the best thing in music for the upcoming years.

Cool, damp, lushly green grass provided the seating for the free InDiscover concert here in Niagara Falls, Ontario.  It was a final competition for many of the performers and comedians, all vying for a special engagement on New Year's Eve here.  The comedians performed, the bands played, the crowds gathered and drank, everyone finding a comfortable spot on the slightly sloping lawn.  When the female MC returned on stage after the last comedian's performance, this time sporting a wicked little black leather jacket, she announced the next group by saying, "I had to put the jacket in honor of this next band, a rocking group - Infract."

Bass pounding, drums rhythmically beating, guitars strumming along with long hair bouncing, and when the attractive blond lead singer began to sing, the vocals radiated out into the darkness of the night air, much to the delight of everyone.  His mesmerizing voice quickly caught my attention, the words easily identifiable, and with a clear message in each song.  Long haired band members rocked, played, and danced on stage while the music delighted the audience.  Dancing broke out amongst all ages, even my own legs began to tap, all while the band played.

The uniqueness of this band's music should be heard by everyone who enjoys rock music.  Over the years I have listened to many rock bands, usually not being able to hear the lyrics of their songs, only enjoying the music, always curious what the words were saying.  Every song by Infract this evening allowed for the best possible mix of music and vocals, the lyrics greatly enjoyed without having to read a CD label to learn them.  Being a competition this incredible music ended all too quickly, at least for me, as I could have listened to them for much longer.

After their performance, the MC returned to talk with the judging panel about their music with the lead singer standing next to her.  All of the judges had good comments to say about the band, one was even ready to take her top off and dance, another one commenting about the effect of this "depth reaching, soul inspiring, heart warming" (my words, not the judges.) music on the audience because he could smell what was being smoked by some audience members.

Another band, with the same sound of many girl bands performed while I enjoyed conversing with two of the girlfriends of the band members, who were selling CDs of the bands music.  I agreed to purchase one but only if the band would all agree to sign the CD.  Thus, with the help of the two girlfriends and band member Bob Marek, all of the signatures were obtained, signed next to their images on the CD cover.

"Superheros do it all the time.. Break laws to defend the right but how right are they? They INFRACT. Hence the Title of This Ontario bands single and Mantra. INFRACT and they will come. This original 4 pc (now a 5) was put together by the bands founder and Drummer Joel Clausner on the premise that breaking laws of humanity would have an audience.. and an audience they do have. Rounded out by Ash Dandryial, on Vocals, Bob Marek on bass, and Darryl Jon Herbert on guitar, and they have added Kevin Gale on guitar, GOLD JUNO AWARD WINNER FROM SLIK TOXIK, to round out the assault. To define their sound would not do a band like this Justice. They have taken Rock to a new level by incorporating acoustic guitar to modern heavy rock, the sound is INFRACTious. Stay tuned...Laws are about to be broken...Or as they would say INFRACTED!"  Copied from their website - Infracted.ca

This band is a must hear, must see group!  Anyone involved with Austin City Limits music festival, who owns a nightclub in Austin, or other wise has any interest in hiring a great new band, please feel free to contact them.  I'm sure you will not be disappointed in their music, stage performance, or the delight your audiences will have while dancing to the rock music this band provides.  Not to mention the attention gathered from their very sweet black caddy will garner street passerby's, and will look great parked outside your nightclub.

You can also find them on Facebook, Myspace, Sonic Bids, Rock Hard Radio.
