About Me


Aft is a band dedicated to creating original music that appeals to the ear. The songs borrow heavily from the melodic hooks found in 60s rock and pop and blend that with a post-grunge alternative rock sound, influenced by a lot of other stuff along the way. The result is a catchy kind of music you don't hear that much in new rock or pop-- the kind of song that almost bleeds with melody.

We now have an AIM screenname: aftband.
