Foundry is an American rock band from Las Vegas. The band’s current lineup features founding drummer Marc Brattin, guitarist Chris iOrio, vocalist Kevin Lacerda, and bassist Niko Gemini. Their latest singles, "30,000 Feet" and "Primadonna," are set for release in 2025 and were produced by Linkin Park drummer Colin Brittain. While rooted in classic rock, Foundry made waves in 2023 with their sixth Top 40 radio hit, "Crocodile Tears," on the mainstream rock charts. Known for their meticulously crafted live performances, the band’s shows, produced by Metallica mixer Mike Gillies, are infused with a distinctive Vegas flair. Foundry has shared the stage with iconic acts such as Nickelback, Rob Zombie, Disturbed, Godsmack, Staind, Papa Roach, Scorpions, Whitesnake, Tesla, Queensrÿche, Bret Michaels, and others.
