While the record holds the ‘good vibes’ of a soundtrack to a beloved coming of age film, NAF doesn’t let their audience forget about a HUGE issue in America…

Lewis sings: ‘I don’t wanna be afraid/put your guns away’ in the straightforward tune titled ‘Guns’. The somber yet hopeful number acknowledges what seems like a never-ending cycle of Gun Violence in America…

NAF’s combination of music & activism is what excites me about this band…

With NAF still in its infancy, who knows what the group will do next. All I know is that 3 musicians reminding folks to ‘Give A Damn’ is exactly what the world needs.
