artist Infighter

Infighter is a five-piece alternative rock/post-punk revival band from Toronto, Canada.  Formed in late 2005, their brand of sweeping indie rock is frequently compared to the sound of bands such as Interpol, Kaiser Chiefs, Editors, and The Killers and draws on the influences of post-punk bands like Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Cure, Pulp, and The Smiths.  The band's sound is a mix of dense guitar and synthesizer atmospheres combined with bass throb and spiky guitar rock.  Infighter is known for its energetic live performances and frontman Simeon Ross' showmanship and soaring vocals.

The genesis of Infighter began with Simeon and Brad getting together to share ideas and write songs, and what emerged over the next few months would end up constituting much of the band's debut release. 

Simeon, Gail, and Brad previously were the core of the Toronto band Charmer.  Simeon and Gail had been founding members of the Calgary band Red Autumn Fall, which had garnered many accolades and even opened for Oasis.  Harrison had been long time friends with the band and was the logical choice on keyboards.  Scott was the final piece of the puzzle, and previously had been a founding member of the Winnipeg bands Transonic and Novillero.  Brad and Scott are from Winnipeg.  Harrison and Gail are from Calgary.  Simeon has roots both in Calgary and Winnipeg, but was born in Inuvik, NWT.

Ami Spears provides backing vocals and appears on Infighter's CD and often live with the band.
