escXtra: Hello guys! Thank you very much for taking your time out to do this interview! First of all, can you tell us a bit about yourselves?

Anti Fitness Club: We are a Hungarian Rock band. We grew up together in the same neighbourhood and started to play 10 years ago in the band. We were best friends.

X: Your band exists since 2002, and it has changed a couple of members from the original group. How did the four of you get together?

AFC: The guitar player was changed four years ago. AFC is doing really great -- we can work perfectly together, and all of us are quite creative.

X: You are one of the most popular bands in Hungary, and Viva Comet and Bravo Otto has declared you the best band in the country for three consecutive years from 2009 until 2011. Do you think that this gives you some kind of an advantage towards the other contestants?

AFC: Of course we are very proud of all of our awards and nominations, but we are mostly motivated by our beloved fans and audience. We are counting on them when they make their decisions about voting.

X: Your song is called “Lesz, ami lesz”, or in English -- Whatever will be, will be. What is the song about?

AFC: This is a very positive song, it is about loving your life, and about that moment wich comes with a relief. You lay back, you let go, and give yourself into faith’s hands. The lyrics say that nothing bad can happen in your life, because everything works out in the end.

X: Was your song written especially for Eurovision, or was it made before, and then entered to the contest?

AFC: This song was written for our next album, but we are really glad the song is in the contest.

X: Did you hear the other competing songs in the national final? Do you have a favorite song, and who do you think is your biggest competition to win it?

AFC: Actually, I wrote the lyrics for Tóth Gabi’s song, she is also a contestant in this national selection. The whole band is cheering for her and all the others too. I think all the songs are special.

X: Do you watch Eurovision, and do you have a favorite Eurovision entry?

AFC: Yes, we watched the previous shows, and Lordi were really close to our hearts.

X: Do you have a message for all the fans and readers of escXtra.com?

AFC: Enjoy the contest and may the best song win! And to all of our fans, thank you for your support in advance.

X: Thank you very much for your time, and we wish you all the best in the national final!
