EF Band

Named for the last initials of the two founding members, the EF Band is usually lumped in with the NWOBHM crowd even though they weren't British (though there is a NWOBHM connection here, as drummer Dave Dufort, brother of Girlschool's Denise and later of Angel Witch, recorded early singles with the band). Last Laugh, the band's first and perhaps best-known album, is a bit of hit-and-miss, featuring a few ordinary NWOBHM rockers along with the excellent speedy title track and the brilliant "Kids", one of the best songs of the era. The band had expanded to a five-piece by the time their third album, the more hard-rockish One Night Stand, was recorded, but they broke up soon afterward. Of trivial interest is one of the earliest appearances by Andy LaRocque, and possibly the only one where he goes by his real name of Anders Allhage.
