“When Global Affront hits the stage with their middle fingers in the air and their profanity-meters set to high, you can expect the crowd to lose their minds and descend into absolute chaos like back in the good old days.”
“Shooting to bring back the Bay Area punk scene, Global Affront from San Francisco smashes and snarls their crowd away every show.” - Creative Edge Music

“There’s something about the Global Affront sound that is addictive, like a drug. Most of it is upbeat and energetic, making it perfect kick-ass punk rock, which is really good to crank up in the car and piss people off with!”
"They are part of a new future for punk-rock as a genre. Overall, if you like this style of music, you really can’t go wrong here. It’s the sound of thundering guitars and basses, energetic drums and raging vocals.” - JamSphere

Bio
Global Affront formed in 2009 when Rico Colley and Eric Wellington started jamming in Eric's backyard shed/studio in San Francisco, CA. They started out by playing Sex Pistols and Green Day covers, but began writing some originals in response to the Oakland BART shooting and riots that pursued. With their new material, they began playing small, local shows in the SF Bay Area and finally cut their first EP in 2011, which they sent all over the SF Bay Area. They ended up getting booked to play at big venues such as The Continental Club and The DNA Lounge. Soon after, they began writing music more driven by the demand for social and political justice, rather than just angst, and also recruited Shane Hunt-Duss as their bassist. In 2012, they went into the studio to record their 2nd EP entitled, "Another F*cking Global Affront EP" with a sound more similar to legendary punk bands like Bad Religion, NOFX, Anti-Flag and Rancid. The EP was released at the San Francisco Battle of the Bands, and Global Affront won first prize over a hundred of California bands competing. In early 2013, they teamed up with SF Suicide Prevention and put on a benefit concert at The Regency Center with all proceeds going to SF Suicide Prevention. In the summer of 2013, they set out on their first tour across the country, hitting world-famous spots like 924 Gilman in the San Francisco Bay Area, Whisky A GoGo in Los Angeles, Sullivan Hall in New York City, and many more. They're releasing their debut album soon...so stay tuned comrades.
