Hailed as one of the funkiest bands North of the border, Toronto-based After Funk continues to blaze a trail for some of the juiciest grooves around. The band continues to rise through the ranks of the funk scene, sharing the stage with groups like Snarky Puppy, Dumpstaphunk, Lettuce, TAUK and more, powered by an undeniably infectious sound.

Today, the group is presenting not only a fresh new video, but revealing dates for an extensive tour throughout the spring and summer. With shows throughout the Northeast and Colorado, funk fans would be remiss not to enjoy this band’s scintillating sound. 

Fortunately, we’re proud to premiere the band’s brand new video for their tune, “Rage & Chuff.” According to the band’s bassist Justin Bontje, “It’s about getting chuffy. Chuffy is a term that can describe anything that stands out as being radical. Acting out against socially acceptable behaviour by doing something rash, but hip at the same time. Being chuffy has to be executed with style and swag.” 

Watch the new video below:

Keyboardist Yanick Allwood said about the video, “We wanted to do a performance video but still wanted to reflect the nature of the song. Its kind of punk funk… where can we destroy things and not get in trouble.” It’s simply smashing.
