INFILTRATORS - Indie rock band from London, UK. Unsigned music.
Infiltrators Biography
Infiltrators are: Loz Tilley (Vocals/Guitar), Pete Harrison (Bass) & Richie Alvarez (Drums).
After punk, everyone realised they could start a band, although most do not have ethics; which makes Infiltrators all the more refreshing. As Loz says they are attempting, “…to bring charm and honesty to their sound and music in general…” enlightening every musical nuance. Infiltrators are known for their catchy songs fusing together influences from The Police, Muse and Kings of Leon. This fusion of alternative rock, reggae punk and southern rock mixed with catchy indie pop melodies, creates the distinctive Infiltrators sound.
The band formed after Leicester born friends Loz and Pete, met Australian Richie via a mutual friend. In a short time the band had played Leeds Festival, had airplay on XFM and signed a sponsorship deal with Patrick Eggle Guitars, whose owner was won over by their melodic presence.
But it has not been enough for Infiltrators to rest on this initial success. The band achieved much more, with their recording career, a blossoming worldwide fanbase though the internet alongside their natural ability and will to succeed. In summer 2011, the band had written and recorded their own debut album, which was subsequently released via YouTube to enable fans to stream the tracks anytime they want. Track highlights from the album include 'Falling', 'Vegas', 'Finally Figured It Out' and 'Can't Find A Love' - the latter of which typifies their current 'reggae punk / alternative rock' style. Infiltrators continue to make waves in the industry, with many glowing reviews from independents.
It is live though, where Infiltrators are best appreciated. As Dave Davies stated, “…their songs have inventive arrangements and catchy choruses, and the performance was classy and impressive”. The band’s natural charisma does not hide their honest, down to earth nature; it has won them many fans. “We’re a collaborative group, which comes across in our music, especially when we play live.” says Loz.
With their latest 2011 recordings, Infiltrators have generated plenty of anticipation for their return to the live stage after a significant period of writing, which has seen this new development of their sound. More than ever, Infiltrators are a band to watch.
