EMF ("Epsom Mad Funkers") were a band from the United Kingdom. The band, from the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, came to prominence at the beginning of the 1990s. During its inital eight year run (1989-1997), EMF had released three studio albums and had gone on hiatus and reformed twice. Their first single, "Unbelievable," got to number 3 in the UK charts and was a number one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Their debut album, Schubert Dip, went to number 3 in the UK Albums Chart. Band name The name "EMF" is an abbreviation of "Epsom Mad Funkers", a nickname given to groupies of the band New Order. In the aforementioned song, "EMF" could be interpreted as an acrostic for: Ecstasy Motherfucker From us to you The chorus lyrics are as follows: E! Ecstasy! M! Motherfucker, motherfucker! F! From us to you... In addition, the remix single release of the song "Lies" included a song "Head the Ball" with the repeating lines "Electro Motive Force" and "Ecstasy Mother Fuckers" during the song. The band was signed by EMI/Parlophone after a mere four gigs, without even being asked for a demo tape. Legend has it that A&R man Nick Mander was made to jump into a river before the band would agree to sign with EMI.[citation needed] [edit] Members James Atkin (vocals, guitars), born James Saul Atkin, in Birmingham.
