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 Pat Crotty (Drums), and Eric Bergmann (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 number 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 worldwide. Astonishing sales of “Question The Motive”, and the thousands of hits to their website 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. The bands first single “Sold Me” was also featured in the August 2008 issue of Metal Edge Magazine. In 2009 they have been consistently touring the country and playing great shows including charity events for the Make a Wish Foundation and Toys for Tots.
Even with all this, it’s the live show where FEFF really shines. Since the release of "Question the Motive", FEFF has taken their raw, energetic live show out of the clubs of New York to stages all over the country. Sharing the stage with bands like Sevendust, Alterbridge, Bobaflex and Powerman 5000 as well as several national tours under their belt, FEFF is proud to say they've played from New York to California and almost 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."

Evidence that You have failed to conceptualize the proper demonstration
of this exercise, in leaving a Legacy I have left it up to Thee …
Seemingly, tied up in your mundane, self absorbed cancor sore world of
instant gratification … that you ignore my subtle encouragement, to
undertake the work of Blackcadavers. I implore You as a privileged
observer that Will direct Your Exodus from Oblivion. The Only chance
for Immortality is the One that I have given .. Hinged on Burying a
Guitar on the Zuni plateau .. Let the words of Enoch flow. Faith in the
intangible is a Moot investment of your Soul. A peaceful Eternity I
will give Thee if Thou bottle Thy Freewill. Sacrifice in my Name yet,
'Thou Shall Not Kill' .. 'He is the Light, the Truth, the Way' .. This
Holy Sanctity of an Invitation to the Garden, Now laid barren by it's
Shepard .. pillaged and rotten it's bounty, rats reap what's not fit
for Heaven . Scouraged civilians an the lesson To Wit, Has reduced your
World to Shit ... Embrace the Ending
