IAFC: It's A Fucking Catastrophe! - if their name doesn't catch your attention, their music definitely will. IAFC fuses every subgenre of rock and roll together to form their own breed of catchy, melodic Hardcore Punk Rock...if you could even label it that. At there shows you can see people dancing and skanking in one minute and hardcore kicking and throwing their fists the next.
Some, who have never been to a live show or heard the band's music, find it hard to believe that IAFC: It's A Fucking Catastrophe! can hit a sweet spot with their musical taste. IAFC appeals to fans of so many different genres, proof can be seen in simply the different array of talent IAFC has played shows with.
IAFC has shared the stage with:
River City Rebels, Good Clean Fun, The Briggs, Inhuman, The Sloppy Meateaters, On The Rise, Dead Pets, Treephort, xLooking Forwardx, Scraps and Heart Attacks, The Sexy Magazines, Alove For Enemies, Marathon, High School Football Heroes, Endwell, ASOB, Patent Pending, The Profit$, This Day and Age, Eyes of Hate, The Flaming Tsunamis, Zombie Vandals, Stiffler, Thieves and Assassins, Flat Earth Society, Stifling Neglect, and many, many more!

Come to their shows to see drummer, Gabe, blast away at those drums and double bass pedal. Awe at guitarist, Chris, fly through technical guitar licks. Watch as bassist, Matt, throws down catchy bass lines. And be sure to watch out for lead vocalist, Danny, as he's bound to be flying ontop of you sometime during the set.
Hailing from New York City, these 4 young muscians have come a long way. Playing shows since February 2003, they recorded their first demo (It's A Fucking Demo!!!) in March 2003 at A&M Studios in Jackson Heights, Queens. After selling out of all the copies of that demo and playing tons more shows, they went back into the studio in June of 2004 to recorde a new 3 song cd: 2 "new" songs and a brand new recording of a classic IAFC tune.
Recorded and Mixed with Grace Falconer, whose numerous works include that of Rancid's 'Life Won't Wait' (http://www.heygrace.com), at Schoolhouse Studios in Manhatten and mastered at Coyote Studios in Brooklyn, the CD is almost ready to be released. Enjoy 2 of the songs of the new CD that are now up and stay tuned for their brand new website and there CD release in the upcoming months!
