BIO
Imagine this- in a business dominated by plastic pop stars, ready made radio
hits and American idols, there's still a hard rock band doing it all by
themselves the old fashioned way- taking the music to the people, winning fans
face to face, and in the process, earning the title "The future of Hard Rock"
(WRHU 88.7FM). Not too bad for four boys from Brooklyn... The story begins in
late 2003, when the New York born and raised Pfeffer brothers Rob (Vocals,
Guitar) and Dan (Guitar) set out to create an original hard hitting sound that
would incorporate aggressive melodies, in your face guitars and ear grabbing,
radio-ready hooks, while still staying true to the band's old school metal
influences. FEFF's lineup solidified with the additions of Brian Struse (Drums),
and Adam James (Bass). The band hit the New York club circuit and beyond with an
incredibly powerful, high energy show that won them a loyal following of hard
rock fans all over the country.
The bands early demos began receiving airplay on NYC’s 92.3
K-ROCK. Due to the overwhelming amount of requests, K-ROCK invited FEFF to their
studios for an on-air interview with DJ Matt Pinfield. After K-ROCK began
playing FEFF, Q104.3 and 102.3 WBAB followed suit, putting FEFF among the few
unsigned bands to be played on all three of NYC’s major rock radio stations. In
just a few months the band sold every copy of their self titled demo, so FEFF
decided it was time to head into the studio to finally record their full length
debut album “Question The Motive”. Released on Oct. 20th, 2006 to anxiously
awaiting fans all across the world, the new LP further proves that FEFF is a
force to be reckoned with in the hard rock world. Necessity being the mother of
invention, the label-less band has consistently thought up cutting edge ways to
utilize the internet to get the CD into the hands of fans world-wide.
Astonishing sales of “Question The Motive”, and tens of thousands of hits to
their website every day has made FEFF one of the most successful unsigned hard
rock bands in the United States. Needless to say, this sort of commotion did not
go unnoticed. Sirius satellite radio’s The Howard Stern Show took a liking to
the band and has consistently plugged FEFF on the air while also using tracks
from the bands brand new album as bumpers and intros’ to the show. XM Satellite
Radio also jumped on the FEFF bandwagon, labeling them as one of the top twelve
unsigned bands in the country following a long run as one of the most played and
requested bands on XM channel 52.
Even with all this, it’s the live show where FEFF really shines.
The band embarked on their first tour in the fall of 2006, a three week escapade
which brought their raw, energetic live show to the entire east coast, and to a
sold out New Year's Eve show for 3500 people at Philadelphia's Tower Theatre
with Artie Lange of the Howard Stern show. FEFF, always looking to blaze a new
trail, is gearing up for a national tour slated for this August and September- a
30 date excursion which will take them from New York to California and
everywhere in between. Amidst a mob of apathetic, passionless competitors, FEFF
has proven themselves as a band with the attitude and the brains to get what
they want. Editor Mike G from Metal Maniacs, said it best; "They’re smart,
they're talented. Those are the ones who make it, those are the ones who last."
Even with all this, its the live show where FEFF really
shines. This fall the band headed out on a 3 week tour of the east coast capping
it off with a sold out show to 3500 people at the Tower Theatre in Philadelphia
with Artie Lange of the Howard Stern show. The planning is currently underway on
a national tour for the spring and summer to support the new CD. So keep your
ears open and your eyes peeled for when FEFF rolls through your town. Amidst a
