Nathan Asher and the Infantry 'Sex Without Love' album

The year is 1993. George Bush I is President, the Seattle sound is about to hit the radio. Zoom in on four kids smoking stolen cigarettes in a basement. Lawson Bennett, Turner Brandon, Chris Serino, and Jay Cartwright III. Renegades. Social outcasts. They bring their keyboards, guitars and harmonicas with them wherever they go. True soul brothers, Jay and Lawson write piano and organ melodies that weave in and out of each other like the strands of a double helix. Turner's harmonica wails, fracturing the night into pieces. Guitar solos are played that strip the paint off of mini vans and regular sized vans. Chris Serino's fretting hand is a blur. The beginnings of a band. At such a tender age, they already enjoy inappropriately wearing sunglasses when it is dark out.

Ten years down the line, the seven kids will meet as young adults in a cul-de-sac in North Raleigh. Something different will be born. Something greater than all of them: Nathan Asher and the Infantry

"A seven piece band that plays like a single instrument."

"First true lyrical inheritors to Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan."

"Songs that sound good on an acoustic guitar or in a stadium. A driving rhythm section and a sense of melodic beauty that creates an unmatched intensity in live shows."

Quotes excerpted from Newsweek, 8/03, Rolling Stone, 7/03, Ebony Magazine 1/04
