In 2017, Trent Reznor, James Hetfield, Paul Simon, and Bono met at an undisclosed location to raise Frank Sinatra from the dead and form a supergroup known as The Infinite Noise. Okay, this may or may not have actually happened. But do you really care? It’s 2022. We’re in a post-truth world, baby!

If it had happened, the range of The Infinite Noise’s current material might be how it would sound: “The In Between” taking you to an eerie David Lynch inspired lounge act; the Lovecraftian antagonist of “Worm” relentlessly attacking through a blistering wall of distorted guitars; the electronica infused “High Rise” touring you through riots and swanky dinner parties; and the soothing grooves of “Motionless” standing with you on the shore while you choose one future over another.

The Infinite Noise’s sound is eclectic, but it’s tied together with a consistent brooding that reminds you there’s something a bit strange going on, something a bit willfully broken about the ballad or banger you’re listening to. As an indie band, it consistently punches above its weight, refusing to believe that a strong DIY ethic means having to compromise on vision.

Always open to collaboration, The Infinite Noise provided the sound track to Happy Hour, a play that ran at the 2019 Edmonton Fringe Festival. With words added, loosely following themes in the play, this eventually turned into the EP of the same name, released in April 2022.

The latest single, Cracks, will be released September 13, 2022.
