Infest was an influential American powerviolence band, formed in September 1986 by Joe Denunzio, Matt Domino, Dave Ring and Chris Clift. They disbanded in 1991. Infest, while not coining the term "powerviolence", were pioneers of the style. The Los Angeles quartet blended the ethos, speed and song structure of straight edge hardcore, along with the aggression and anger of bands like Negative Approach and Negative FX. Joe Denunzio’s vocals exhibited angst, with lyrical content about conformity, war, scene politics and socio-political issues, mostly delivered in an accusational assault. Infest did however differ from their peers in their fervent political stance and imagery, often depicting the tragedies of war and poverty, countering the obligatory "band in action" album covers common to the era. On July 1, 1991, Infest recorded a live set for the Los Angeles radio station KXLU. This session was later released by Deep Six Records who also released the ''No Man's Slave'' LP. The vocals on ''No Man's Slave'' were recorded post-breakup in 2000 and the LP was released later in 2002. On January 13, 2013, Infest played their first show since 1991 at The Echo, in Echo Park, California with bands such as ACxDC (Anti-Christ Demon Core), Barking Backwards, Fissure and Sordo.〔w.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2013/01/infest_reunited.html〕 They were among the headliners at the 2013 editions of Maryland Deathfest and Chaos in Tejas respectively. In July 2013 Infest headlined the Destroy L.A. Hardcore Festival with California youth crew legends Chain of Strength. In July 2014, they headlined a one-off in Dallas, Texas at Vice Palace, along with Chicago-based outfit Weekend Nachos. ==Discography== * ''Infest'' (demo, 1987) * ''Infest'' (EP, Drawblank, 1988) * ''Slave'' (LP, Off the Disk, 1988) * Split 8" with Pissed Happy Children (Slap a Ham, 1989) * ''Mankind'' (7", Drawblank, 1991) * ''KXLU Radioshow'' (12", Deepsix, 2001) * ''No Man's Slave'' (LP, Deepsix, 2002) * ''Days Turn Black'' (7", Drawblank, 2013) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Infest (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
