Biography
Infidel Inc. is an American industrial rock band formed in Silicon Valley, California circa 2003 by Christopher Aidan. The band is best known for the song "Fix," which was featured in a television commercial for Izod during Super Bowl XLI. The group suggests it is the first use of music from an unsigned artist during a Super Bowl ad, but this isn't easily verifiable. As its main producer, singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist, Aidan is the only official member of Infidel Inc. and remains solely responsible for the musical direction of the band.
