In a time when the world feels like it’s spiraling into chaos, The Infinity Process storms in with “Hostage,” a ferocious rock anthem that refuses to sit in silence. This Toledo-based trio—Kimberly Tingley (vocals), Jason Tingley (guitar and bass), and Brent Gfell (drums)—has been making waves since their formation in 2014, blending their influences from Helmet, Thrice, Muse, System of a Down, and The Dillinger Escape Plan into a sound that is both uncompromising and electrifying. Their latest single, released on February 14, 2025, isn’t just another rock song—it’s a battle cry against complacency, urging us to break free from the mental and societal shackles that bind them.
From the very first line, “It’s happening again. All we fought for, is coming undone,” Hostage throws us into a world teetering on the edge. The tension is palpable, setting the stage for a track that burns with frustration and urgency. Kimberly Tingley’s vocals are explosive—commanding yet emotionally raw, she doesn’t just sing the lyrics; she demands attention, channeling anger, fear, and a fierce determination to fight back.
Lyrically, Hostage captures the unrest of a world spiraling into madness. Lines like “We sit in silence. And watch it all unfold. Our soul is screaming. We don’t know what to do” reflect a feeling of helplessness that many of us will resonate with. But the track doesn’t wallow in despair—it turns frustration into action. The climax surges with anthemic intensity: “We gotta do something. We can’t just let it fall,” urging us to rise up, take control, and push back against the negativity suffocating the world.
Instrumentally, Hostage hits hard. Jason Tingley’s guitar work is razor-sharp, cutting through the track with heavy, chugging riffs that build a sense of relentless intensity. His bass lines add depth, grounding the song with a dark, pulsing energy. Brent Gfell’s drumming is pure fire—aggressive, precise, and unyielding, driving the song forward with an almost military-like force. The production, handled by Jason himself at The Chinchilla Lair and mastered by Nick Burchall at Audio Animals, ensures every element punches through with clarity. The mix is tight, allowing the raw emotion of the performance to shine through without losing any of its bite.
With their electrifying sound and fearless lyricism, The Infinity Process isn’t just making music—they’re making a statement. And if Hostage is any indication of what’s to come, this trio is poised to leave an indelible mark on the rock scene. As they gear up for their live performance at Frankie’s in Toledo on March 29th, one thing is certain: The Infinity Process is here, they’re loud, and they’re not backing down.
