Soaring vocal melodies, monster guitar riffs and guaranteed radio-ready hits – it’s not what you’d expect from a 16 year old girl and three guys who aren’t even old enough to drink. But Infinity Hour isn’t your typical bunch of teenagers. Despite their youth, all five members have been playing music for years, and their current mix of bright pop hooks and moody alternative rock is proof they’ve come of age.
Infinity Hour first coalesced in 2008, when powerhouse vocalist Jena Asciutto was just 12 years old.
