The band played a blend of fast punk/grindcore & power violence. Lyrics with written in a straight forward manner talking about such issues as animal rights, anti-authority/anti-cops, pro working class etc. They played their first gig in November 2003 & played their final gig in August 2008 in their home city of Preston (Lancashire). They only put out 3 releases in that time (some could say quality, not quantity lol).

There are mutliple artists with this name: 1) Infest was an influential American hardcore punk band, formed in Los Angeles, CA from 1986 to 1996. They were instrumental in pioneering powerviolence, a musical cross-breeding of hardcore, sludge, thrashcore/fastcore, and grindcore. Members were Joe Denunzio (vocals), Matt Domino (guitar), Dave Ring (bass) and Chris Clift (drums). The band , while not coining the term powerviolence, were definitely pioneers of it.
