AHRF is a raw independent alternative rock band from Squamish, BC. They pull inspiration from 2000s alternative rock and a variety of Canadian punk bands. AHRF’s lyrics are poignant, sarcastic, and self deprecating focused on a feeling or problem the narrator is struggling with. Muscular choruses, blistering guitars, and an intense rhythm section are all part the AHRF sound. AHRF writes, records, produces, mixes, and performs all their own music.
