Shortcut 2 Infinity is a Power Rock band from Solothurn… the Swiss capital of Rock
Influenced by the rough rocks in their home by the Southern Jura Mountains, the band has a style between Power Rock and Metal. Raw and uncut like a Jura Mountain boulder is what they sound like, too. Honest, unadorned, and going straight into the ears at full power! The band name, by the way, comes from the search for wormholes to the Gods of Rock Nirvana and was not chosen because both guitarists believe they have the best hairstyles in existence.
Shortcut 2 Infinity was founded in late 2017 by Adrian “Adi” Rieder (Bass) and Alain Kunz (Guitar). After a few weeks, David “Dävu” Zimmermann (Guitar) and Florian “Flo” Baumgartner (Drums) also joined. The search for their front man proved to be significantly more difficult, until the group was finally completed with the Australian import Aaron Hasler and his unmistakable whisky-formed voice. Inspired by various idols from their youth as well as current bands, the five guys now almost exclusively play their own songs.
When they were ready to take to the stages, Corona-Lockdown started. Shortcut 2 Infinity made the best of it and instead concentrated on writing songs as well as on their recording studio. In July 2020, the first studio recording “I Know” was released. The guys are continually working on their repertoire, chiseling their songs and blasting new ideas out of the rocks of Solothurn. Studio is booked for October 21 and their awaited 6 Track- EP will be released in by the end of 2021.
