What is AFFEN?

Try to put "AFFEN" as a keyword on Google and you'll only find articles about primates. But this AFFEN is far from that, this is Anatomy For Fabulous Emergency Noise. Just reading the name, we can say that this band intends to trigger jaw-dropping noises.

Started by the passion for music of Hariz, Elmo and Babam, continued by Ifsan, Hari, and Ebong joining the team, thereby AFFEN was formed on June 2011, as their experimenting media. The diversity of the member's music background is expected to enrich their works by tossing anything they find in their heads into AFFEN.

Talking about genre, these guys just can't make it to choose one. They experiment, they make noises, they may rock today and make tomorrow jazzy. But still, AFFEN has their own particular style that will refuse to leave people's head.

AFFEN captures daily phenomenon that people forget to pay attention to, such as child abuse, suicide, or social conflicts that people underestimate but actually have broad impacts. Through their lyrics, AFFEN defines these phenomenons from their own point of view.
