though foster, alex and adam have been playing music together since childhood, the effs only officially formed in 2019. their current incarnation arose as an alternative to kicking in doors and screaming in faces, because in spite of their many privileges they are still emotional great apes. the band has become a sanctuary for its members to express themselves without damaging feelings, bodies, or properties. their hope is that effs music can be the same for listeners.

effs are managed by jason mann who works tirelessly to legitimize the band as producer, sound engineer, electrician, promoter, roadie, tutor, cheerleader, guru.
