Foundry is an American rock band from Las Vegas, featuring drummer Marc Brattin, guitarist Chris iOrio, vocalist Kevin Lacerda, and bassist Niko Gemini. Their upcoming singles, "30,000 Feet" and "Primadonna," are set for 2025 release and produced by Linkin Park's Colin Brittain. Although rooted in classic rock, Foundry achieved their sixth Top 40 hit on the mainstream rock charts in 2023 with “Crocodile Tears.” Their live shows, produced by Metallica's Mike Gillies, have a unique Vegas flair. Foundry has shared the stage with iconic bands Nickelback, Rob Zombie, Disturbed, Godsmack, Staind, Papa Roach, and more.

History

Since 2018, Foundry has focused on releasing singles, starting with their first radio hit, “Intoxicate,” which spent an unprecedented 12 weeks on the mainstream rock charts Top 40. They also dropped original tracks “Not This Time” and “Thunder Rolls,” all produced by Linkin Park's Colin Brittain. Additionally, the band released re-imagined versions of Lady Gaga's “Poker Face” (2019) and Pink Floyd's “Money” (2020). That year, in response to the pandemic's impact on live music, Foundry hosted a groundbreaking July 4th livestream tribute to America. By leveraging innovative technology, the event brought audiences together virtually, fostering connection and celebrating the spirit of humankind.

In December 2014, Foundry made their debut with the single "Vegas Baby!" This was followed by the release of their self-titled debut album on January 5, 2015. The album features the exceptional vocals of Kelly Keeling, and was mixed by 7X Grammy-producer Steve Thompson, alongside engineer Matt Breunig, known for his work with the Killers. It also highlights Count's 77 guitarist Stoney Curtis and keyboardist Erik Norlander. Additional contributions come from Mark Boals, Scott Griffin, and Bjorn Englen, furthering Foundry’s transition to the performance stage.
