Twice nominated for Best Alt./Indie Band at the San Diego Music Awards, this San Diego-based band weaves ambient sounds with driving rhythms, sending waves of energy from stage to soundboard.

SFP’s live shows are more than a performance—they’re an immersive experience where the audience is as integral as the music.

In 2024, “Feelin’ Again” earned a nomination for Best Rock Song, and “Champions” for Best Pop/Rock Song. Buckle up—this is the future of alt-electro rock.
