...And The Magical 8-Ball Band

Four music-makers thrown together from the deep reaches of Parkstone (and Wimborne), bonded by their love for music and magic...and apparently 8-balls.
Upon discovering that they all played different instruments (which was handy) and that they could actually play these instruments together as one kind of melody-producing harmonic unit, forming a band seemed like a pretty nifty idea.
All they needed now was a really cool name. Alas, no plan is perfect...

EF

EF is a five-piece band from Gothenburg, Sweden. It all started in May 2003, and soon they stood in a small basement and created quite heavy music. It didn't take long for them to find that melodies, emotions and explosions were more interesting. During the first 3 years they recorded and released 4 CD-R demos and began playing in various locations around Sweden. In the summer of 2005 they were contacted by US label Raise The Red Flag. They decided to co-op, and a full length album was released during 2006.
