Biography
Audiometry's roots go back to the '90s Staten Island Hardcore scene. Childhood friends Enrico Arcaro (guitar), Rob Marinelli (bass), and James Federico (drums), cut their teeth in the pre-Emo Hardcore band Infind, a band whose intensity and strong emotive patina laid the foundation for Audiometry's sound. After Infind broke up, the three original band members pursued several endeavors, including Federico's stint with the rock group Seymour Glass, Marinelli continuing to play in legendary Staten Island hardcore bands Murdock and Serpico, and Arcaro performing as a sequencer-wielding solo electronic rock artist.
At Enrico's 30th birthday party, Rob and Enrico discussed how much they missed Infind, and decided to reform the group. Shortly thereafter, their singer left the band. The other band members' musical experiences convinced them to become an exclusively instrumental band, and they renamed Infind, Audiometry. Wanting to enrich their sound, they recruited Arcaro's friend from music school, keyboardist Joe Grado. The quartet played throughout New York City, bringing audiences a new sound that mixed influences including Hardcore, Emo, Metal, and Classical. When Grado left the band, Andrew Struck-Marcell joined the group, and added his trained classical composition chops to the creation of Audiometry's newer songs. Having just recorded an EP, Audiometry plans to soon record a full album. Having received much praise for a show in which they accompanied the classic film Metropolis, Audiometry also plans to play more shows with film in the future.
