The Infested is a Ska-Core/Punk style group, often refered to as "Crack Rock Steady" from Leeds, UK. The original lineup, consisting of G, Lee, Chris and Knox recorded 2 short CD's ("Buy To Survive" and "The Infested") between 2004 and 2006.
The band have toured once with (and as) The Crack Rock Steady 7 (featuring Stza from LOC on vocals) and once with Leftover Crack (in which G filled in for Brad Logan on guitar).
Prior to this tour, Callum Howell from Lincoln based band MCD joined The Infested on guitar and vocals before the 2006 LOC tour but sadly died shortly after, which understandably resulted in The Infested's hiatus.
The Infested is currently undergoing a full lineup change which introduces Phil from Hereford band "Shutdown". The Infesteds debut album was released on "EHC Records" and "Pumpkin Records" on November 3rd 2008. The record took around 4 years to write and was recorded as and when by G Infested.
The Infested is at present seeking band members who can practice, tour and record. Please get in touch if you are interested.
G is currently writing new material for a possible download only EP release on EHC Records.
UPDATE!!!
The Infested finally have a full lineup and are going to be practicing hard for shows, tours and new releases in the not too distant future. Keep checking for bulletins/blogs as we may need your help booking shows.
