Foundry is an American rock band from Las Vegas created by drummer Marc Brattin and producer Colin Brittain of Linkin Park. While rooted in classic rock, Foundry has scored eight Top 40 hits in Mainstream Rock. Their live shows, produced by Metallica's Mike Gillies, feature a distinctive Vegas vibe. Foundry has performed with Nickelback, Rob Zombie, Disturbed, Godsmack, Staind, Papa Roach, and more.
History
[edit]Since 2025, Foundry has evolved into a live show-focused rock group, blending catchy hard rock songs with uniquely Las Vegas-inspired showmanship. The band has also revealed a softer musical direction with acoustic renditions of their typically hard-edged sound. This acoustic approach was developed to emphasize their vocal harmonies often lost in modern rock production. Additionally, under the moniker The Star Spangled Singers, Foundry performs the American National Anthem at sports events across the United States.
Beginning in 2018, Foundry has focused on releasing singles, starting with their first radio hit, “Intoxicate,” which spent an unprecedented 16 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 4 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 in January 2015. The album features rock vocalist 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 from Mark Boals, Scott Griffin, and Bjorn Englen, played crucial roles in advancing Foundry’s transition from the recording studio to the performance stage.
