(Source: Eight Fingers Down)EFD’s sound is that of the early 90’s punk movement. They capture that moment-in-time, and that “So-Cal” sound that was so big. It is said they sound like Face To Face meats NOFX , but with their own unique twist. However you want to label them, after listening to the CD or seeing them live, you will usually walk away humming a song or two. In EFD’s short history, they have accomplished a significant amount of things. They’ve released 2 full-length CD’s, 1 EP, been on a half a dozen comps, booked 7 national tours, and has been a part of the Warped Tour family for a few years. It’s easy to say that this band is a hard working group of individuals who manage to be more and more successful every year. Reviews | Features
