Got Talent? Meet Michigan Rock Band Infinity Hour

Hey Ferndale Patch Readers! It's time for another YDS Got Talent? Blog! Featured on today's blog is a local rock band that goes by the name of Infinity Hour!

Somewhere between the haunting vocal melodies and intense hard-hitting rhythms, you will find yourself captivated by what countless fans in the Great Lakes area know as Infinity Hour. Infinity Hour is a local Michigan Rock band from Waterford, Michigan. Infinity Hour consists of five local teens that have a dedicated passion for music. The bands members are: 

• Jena Asciutto - Lead Vocals
• Katelyn Perrett - Rhythm Guitar/Vocals
• Jared Bentley - Lead Guitar
• Brad Rude - Bass Guitar
• Dylan Walsh - Drums

Since their inception in 2008, Infinity Hour has already performed to live audiences in jam-packed stadiums, regional hot spots, and many local schools with rock star response. Not bad considering they are all under the age of 18.

Here's what some of Infinity Hour's members had to say: 

“We write songs to make good music, not to make big hits,” said 17-year-old Rude.

“Any and all ideas that are thrown on the table are considered deeply, and after a few rehearsals the song is molded and polished,” said Bentley, 17.

Now, with every performance, more and more fans are getting a taste of that “good music” and joining the Infinity Hour movement.

Early last year, their notoriety and talent led them to their very own live studio interview and performance on Detroit's FOX TV 2 News. In 2010 alone, they delivered 26 major head-banging performances, from The Hard Rock Cafe, 59 West, to the coveted Woodward Dream Cruise. By mid-summer of 2010, their song Time of My Life reached No.1 for three consecutive weeks on both Ann Arbor’s 107.1 FM’s Homegrown segment and Detroit's 96.3 FM's local talent segment, The Radio Café. Most recently, their video debut of She Finally Knows Why garnished over 12,000 YouTube hits in just 4 weeks, which is no small feat. 

Heavily involved in the social needs of our community, Infinity Hour's music and visual performance can also be found in the 2010 Emmy Award winning WatRUfightN4 campaign video designed to raise awareness regarding poverty and other major issues that affect our community. In mid October 2010, Infinity Hour performed, along with pop sensation Jessie McCartney, during the “Text the Pledge” concert, a program geared to encourage students to achieve their very best in academics - something they too strive for. Infinity Hour recently brought the house down when they had the opportunity to open up for Australian teen phenomenon Cody Simpson whose song iYiYi features hip hop artist Flo Rida, for the Rockin’ the Dream Charity Concert to benefit local charities in Pontiac, Michigan.

Infinity Hour is currently collaborating with up and coming rap artist Brilliance on his new song Angels & Demons which is being produced by multi-platinum record producer and Grammy Award winner, Jeff Bass. Bass is known for his work with Detroit’s own Eminem. Any other teen band would feel pressure going into the studio with such a heavy-hitter, but Infinity Hour isn’t like any other band. 

With their debut album due to be released later this year, many more will find themselves raptured in the high-energy sounds of Infinity Hour.
