EMF are an indie dance band from the United Kingdom. The band came to prominence at the middle of the 1980s coming from the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire. Since its inception, EMF have released three studio albums and have gone on hiatus 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.
The name "EMF" officially stands for "Epsom Mad Funkers" – an odd name for a band originating from the Gloucestershire town of Cinderford over 100 miles west – but there are unofficial alternatives, such as "Every Mother's Favourite," "Eat My Foetus," "Ever Music Forever," "Eat More Fruit", "Easy Mother Fuckers", "English Mother Fuckers," "Eight More Faggots," "Electric Mother Fuckers", "Every Mother Fucker", "Ecstasy Mother Fuckers", and "Electro Motive Force" (the second to last of which occurs in a track called "EMF", a live version of which featured on the B Side of the single "Unbelievable").
