The Edward Furlongs is an endeavor in rock music by Dan Gugger and Nick Afflitto. It is a tip of the hat to the pioneers before them, a reflection of their collective experiences and a bullish reaction to the state of modern music. Although Dan and Nick grew up playing music in the same thriving New Jersey music scene, they didn't meet until performing together on the Vans Warped Tour in the summer of 2009. After spending several years performing music for other bands, they decided to create music of their own with a few core principals in mind. Perhaps the most significant of these is the idea that there is a void in modern music that yearns to be filled. It is is a composite of old and new; a return to the clarity and simplicity of rock music from decades past while reflecting the experiences of those living in the world as it is today. So if the band achieves its ultimate goal, the music should reflect a desire for something simple and familiar, but modern and unique; candid recordings that are, if anything, under processed by todays standard but hold honesty and individuality that honors both the musicians creating it and the people and experiences that have made their lives better.
