Biography
Blazing out of the small town of Mullet Alberta, the CCF appeared like the rock .n roll antichrist in the year 2000 tossing out influences like AC/DC, Motorhead, Aerosmith, Led Zepplin, the MC5 & Budgie like a circus strongman might toss midgets. This 3 piece, while still a relatively new band has made it their buisness to kick out he jams & shake your foundations with their original rawk attack. Locked deep within the earth in an undisclosed Calgary studio, the CCF are constructing what will soon become their classic 1st album.
