History
Infinite System started playing in March 2004 under the name, "Something Wicked," in a basement in Mt. Vernon, NY. It started with Dave Cohen on Drums and Mark Usurin on guitar/vocals. When Steve Barboza was recruited to play guitar, the initial lineup was complete. In November 2004, the band recorded and produced a CD consisting of 5 original tracks: Fire Gods, Human Race, Empty Treasure, Filled, and an Instrumental track (now titled "Something Wicked").
For the first two years, Something Wicked searched for a bass player. Seeing no positive results, they recruited a friend to fill in on bass for the purpose of playing shows. Without a permanent bass player, they were able to perform at New York City clubs CBGB and The Continental.
In April 2006, bassist Luke Sheridan responded to their ad on a local online bulletin board. After 1 audition, Luke was invited to join the band and became the permanent bass player for the next 2 years.
In September 2006, the band joined a local Independent Record Label called Seventh Level Records. Due to legal issues, the band needed to change their name. "Infinite System," was chosen to be the new band identity.
Early 2008 saw the departure of bassist Luke Sheridan. The job was temporarily given to friend and bassist for punk-metal band Leviathan, Chris Gardiner, who helped out for the better part of 2008-2009, but left for personal reasons in July 2009.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I think that Richard Nixon will go down in history as a true folk hero, who struck a vital blow to the whole diseased concept of the revered image and gave the American virtue of irreverence and skepticism back to the people.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“The history of literature—take the net result of Tiraboshi, Warton, or Schlegel,—is a sum of a very few ideas, and of very few original tales,—all the rest being variation of these.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
