Silly fools thai rock band

Silly Fools (SF) is a Thai rock band. Their music can be described as modern rock.

The group first formed in 1995, and in 1996, released an EP named Sampler on the independent label Bakery Music. The band then moved to More Music and released their first full length album, I.Q. 180, but attracted a small audience compared with that of labelmates Loso.

Silly Fools popularity increased as the musical style of their later albums was more accessible to the public. They are now considered among the top rock bands in Thailand.
