After School Knife Fight

not the real cover art

"After School Knife Fight was a band that started in a basement with an acoustic guitar and some lyric's on a piece of notebook paper. Kevin and Jacen met through a shared love of loud music and decided to start a band. Kevin played guitar and Jacen decided to do vocals. They met a bass player named Jenn and a drummer named Conor and started writing songs. We wrote three songs with Jenn and played two shows and then she left the band. Conor invited two members from another band he was in to take over and ASKF now had two guitars. Brandon and John filled the new slots. Together they played some shows a had some fun and recorded 3 songs and self released a 5 song EP. They broke up shortly after recording and playing their last show in January of 2002.

Where they are now:

Jenn has kids and nobody knows where she vanished to.

Jacen and Kevin live together in Calgary and started a band recently. They were in a short lived project together called Our Last Days As Children who recorded a split 7" with Droom. Kevin is currently doing vocals in a band called Cold Dead Hands and he plays guitar in a metal band called Aim For The Head.

Conor and Brandon and John started playing in Harbor again after ASKF broke up and released an EP together that was recorded in Vancouver with Jesse Gander. It was pretty sweet. Now they are in Vancouver and I don't know if they are in any bands."

ASKF was from Kamloops, British Columbia Canada. Not Miami. Just a note.
