Their debut EP, ‘Punch of Phunk’, is out now on Spotify and iTunes soon to be followed by their new single ‘Joy Ride’ coming out in Spring 2018. They have also recorded and filmed a live session with BBC Introducing Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

James Mattey, Leeds College of Music composition graduate is the band’s lead guitar/vocalist. James forges commanding riffs accompanied by powerful vocal lines to front the essence of Artiphunk.

Adam Clifford, engineer by trade and engineer of Artiphunk’s trademark intricate bass lines involving slap, always excites audiences at every show.

Dan Clifford, current Leeds College of Music Production student, slots in with his bro to form the fat funk back bone of Artiphunk. Adding backing vocals to the mix as well, Dan fuels the engine room of Artiphunk.

The guys have been together for 5 years based in the West Mids/Leeds and guarantee a performance that will get you gripped to their unique, hefty funk rock vibe. Influences from artists such as Incubus, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against The Machine and Muse shine through their music.
