ABOUT
AUDIOFILE
AUDIOFILE formed in 2009 with one goal in mind: bring straight ahead, good ol' Rock n Roll to people who appreciated great live music and an epic night of dancing and singing to their favourite songs. Choosing and learning new songs is half the fun for these guys. We love what we play and whether it's Grand Funk Railroad or Foo Fighters, we hammer out the details of every song we play so our live show kicks ass! As we begin our second decade as a band, one thing we can guarantee is an evolving set of only the best rock music from the 70s, 80s, 90s and today.
