Artist description Infamous Jake & The Pinstripe Mafia have been assaulting audiences with their seamless blend of fast ska, punk, and hardcore since the summer of 2000. Influenced by such bands as Link 80, Big D & The Kid's Table, The Suicide Machines, and 7 Seconds, these seven guys spend their weekends sonically destorying anything and everything in their path. Vocally, Infamous Jake has the best of both worlds with Ariel's smooth and melodic vocals contrasted by Dan's rough and often frantic screaming. Backed by Matt's furious drumming, Cory's thundering guitar, Ariel's bass wizardry, and a 4-piece horn section, Infamous Jake combines fast punk beats, hardcore breakdowns, swingin' ska and catchy horn lines to create a final product that can only be fully experienced through their live show, a frenzied mix of music and mayhem released in front of a crowd that can't help but dance.
