Infusion is an Australian electronica band from Melbourne who are known for their energetic live performances and long resumé of remixes. They are currently signed to the Sony BMG label. Founding members Jamie Stevens and Manuel Sharrad met in Wollongong, an industrial town outside Sydney where they both went to high school. Though third member Frank Xavier also hails from Wollongong, the other two did not meet him until they had relocated to Sydney some time later.

Over time, the trio's music has gradually evolved from being not only aimed at the rave and club scenes, but widening in scope to also include traditional pop-song structures. This was demonstrated on their 2004 single "Girls Can Be Cruel" which received airplay on Australia's alternative music radio station Triple J. They have also released singles on Audio Therapy and Marine Parade.

Infusion have won the last two ARIA Music Awards for best dance release; in 2004 for the single "Girls Can Be Cruel" and in 2005 for their first album for Sony BMG, Six Feet Above Yesterday. They are currently working on a new album that is to be released in 2008.
