Bio

With the amazing riff-writing talent of Tommy Johnson, singer Karl Hepler is able to create powerful yet melodic vocals spurred by his meticulously crafted lyrics, which are backed by Andrew Faulknier's integral bass lines and the drumming force that is Chris McKinney.

The history of Infidel is a long and coincidental one. During November 1998, Tommy Johnson, Andrew Faulknier, Jeremy Carr (drummer), and Scott Shuler (singer) formed a rock cover band. Then, in April 1999, Jeremy Carr left the nameless band and was replaced by Chad Snider. Still nameless, they performed a few concerts of Creed and Metallica covers. Andrew and Scott were abruptly kicked out in the Summer of 1999 and replaced by Ben Titus and Paul Loy respectively. Paul Loy was eventually replaced by Levi Cleveland, the brother of Patrick Cleveland who was the singer for CrashRyde. Levi then left the band, which came to be known as Decisional. It had become a three-piece with Ben Titus singing and playing bass.

In September 2001, Karl Hepler became friends with Chad Snider, who invited him to join Decisional. The name changed to Wicked Humor, then to Euthanasia, then to Infidel; all in a one-year period. Throughout these name changes, they played five concerts of all original music. As the band began to fall apart, Chad began to skip band practices and the other members had to compensate. So, for a couple of practices, Ben invited Chris McKinney to sit in. Needless to say, he left a good impression, but because he was busy with about ten other bands, he was not able to join Infidel.

In Spring 2003 Ben Titus left the band, which started an erosion of ideals and hopes. As a last effort, Tommy Johnson invited Andrew Faulknier to join Infidel in the Summer of 2003. Confidence started to build and shows were starting to get scheduled... then Chad left the band. This put a big stop on the progress of Infidel, until Karl got in touch with Chris McKinney again. Because of his financial situation, Chris had to quit all of his bands and get a job that took up all of his time. When he quit that job, he was compelled to join Infidel. These strange turn of events led to the creation of the band you know today.

Now, with their talent, passion, and original sound, Infidel has begun a journey to play music professionally.
