AFK is a quartet formed during the summer 2004 in Orsago (Treviso). wich gave to the band the opportunity to become known outside italy.
The band made a name in the italian underground punk scene due to his agressive, short live shows which are characterized by a extremly careful and powerfull sound. After some gigs in Italy,the band record a demo 7"split (self release) with a friend band called Esicastic and a 3"split (on Holidays Records and Error Records) with Afraid! After the first tour in France (2005) the band begin to play
in almost all european country and put out two albums: "Orsago" LP (2006) and "Brown Recluse" EP (2008) both released by the current three best italian DIY lebel on punk background: Holidays Records,SonsOfVesta and Shove Records. In the 2006 the Cdr discography "Fino ad ora" is released by Russian Bloodspit Records. The band continue to perform in different European countries like Slovenia, Czech Republic, Austria, France, Hungary, Germany, Holland, Belgium...and during Spring 2009 a new 7"split with The Falus Boys has been released for the French label Ocinates Industries. A new 7”split with Parrhesia, Chicago's punk-hardcore band, will be out in 2013 always on Shove Records. AFK's sound has always been powerful, fast and complex. It's a blend of punk,math-metal, hard core, noise and progressive rock.
