Inferno Of Joy

San Francisco's Inferno of Joy was formed in early 2006 by vocalist Sean Heskett and guitarist Hugh Yerburgh. Having both served in the ranks of Scratchie/Mercury Records act, Phoenix Thunderstone, and following several years of self-imposed retirement, Sean sought Hugh over seas , discussed the possibility of starting another band, and mutually concluded the time was right to embark on a new musical project- Inferno of Joy. Upon settling on a line up, the band played frequently through out most of northern California, and in 2007 released a 5 song Ep on Divine Kali Records. Inferno of Joy quickly garnered a reputation for wild kinetic shows, often unforgiving in their excesses; an orgy of colour, sound, blood, and sweat... In Spring 2009, following a line up change, rangy Texan drummer Ricky Wayne Garrett signed on. The Dallas native and veteran of a number of bands, spanning punk to blues to jazz, has been nothing less than inspirational! His seemingly effortless ability to fuse genres, and his extensive musical background and knowledge have added immeasurably to Inferno of Joy's eclectic sound. In October 2011, Inferno of Joy added bass guitar player, Tom Mitchell, a long time musician of San Francisco's underground. Delivering a powerful rhythmic drive with a broad harmonic sensibility, Tom's addition has helped the rhythm section to become an immeasurable force. With it's strongest line up yet, the band released its debut album available on LP, CD and iTunes 2014. For more information go to www.InfernoOfJoy.com
