Crusader / Breathing Space / Crusader (Live Session)

ELT RECORDS

A noisy collision of metal, rap and techno, AFD Shift are a Lichfield based five piece who sound like an angry cross between Slipknot, Linkin Park, Senser and The Prodigy.

Debut single CRUSADER makes up for in energy and enthusiasm what in lacks in originality and freshness, AFD Shift basically peddling a sound that bands like Senser and Asian Dub Foundation where pioneering in the early nineties.  With a barrage of thundering riffs and snappy techno riffs, Andy Clayton delivers rough sounding vocals, part House Of Pain, part Corey Taylor resulting in a sound that lands somewhere between the anthemic and the chaotic.

Whilst perhaps not winning any awards for delivering anything particularly fresh or inspiring, AFD Shift make for pleasingly loud, ferocious and sweaty listening with debut single CRUSADER.

BIOGRAPHY

AFD Shift formed in Lichfield, a small Cathedral city in the Midlands in March 2006. The band have a massive sound, with hip-hop, metal, rock and electro influences all shining through, creating relentless heaviness and intense live performances.

AFD Shift have established themselves as one of the most exciting new acts on the midlands music scene, making a name for themselves playing energetic, jumping sets at various venues all over the region, and are currently looking to branch out further afield.

The band have recently been in the studio teaming up with renowned producer Gavin Monaghan to record their debut single 'Crusader', scheduled for general release on 6th August 2007. Watch out for the boys at a venue near you...
