| A Face For Radio (AFFR) is a five piece Punk Rock/Post-Hardcore band from Vienna WV. Over the last year Affr has evolved musically and band member wise but has turned out for the best. A face for radio has been working very hard the last few months’ writing/demoing new songs and is working on their music harder than they ever have before. If you heard AFFR in 2003 you surely would not recognize them now. Their talent has matured and so has their song writing.
AFFR started in early fall of 2002 when Jeff and Mike were both playing in a band which they both were losing interest in and wanted something more. So Ryan Fields was brought into the band and eventually that band was ended leaving the three together. They decided they needed a guitarist so they got their friend Travis Graham to join. They all played together for almost exactly a year. They put out two Demo/Ep's and even started another. They played a lot of shows and wrote a descent amount but as time went on things were getting too stressful and musical differences among each other. Eventually, Travis Graham was no longer a part of the band, nothing-personal just differences in music. So once again Jeff, Mike, and Ryan were back to square one, this being in the fall of 2003. They all enjoyed the same kind of music and Mike and Jeff sure did write together well, so they just began writing, not really having a band put together. Finally JP Fields, Ryan's brother, and Brad Norman joined. The band was complete. They all started practicing quite often and writing like there was no tomorrow. Songs were coming together really fast and everyone understood exactly where each person wanted to go with the music. All of them say it's hard to categorize our music but they've said Punk Rock with some indie/post-hardcore sound to it, but that doesn't matter, it's music and that’s all that matters. So Jeff got himself a studio put together and a Demo/EP was set out. Short but summed up what the new AFFR was about.
MAY 27th 2004 they released their newest album "Dance Kill Repeat" including 9 tracks of hard hitting aggressive songs, they've set out to become the biggest punk rock music revolution group in history, or something like that.
