Wow, Intern Stone here, I don't know if you've been outside yesterday or today, but the weather is awesome! Not really hot, not cold, but plenty of sun. On top of all that, we're having our first concert of the year this week and I am totally stoked about that.
So we've heard some about Jeremy Camp, and some about Chasen, so here's some info that you might not know about The Afters.
The Afters started up in Mesquite, Texas where lead vocalist Josh Havens and vocalist/guitarist Matt Fuqua worked together at a Starbucks and planned on putting a band together. They recruited Marc Dodd and Brad Wigg and began touring under the name "Blisse". They changed their name to "The Afters" once they realized there was an other band also going by "Blisse".
They signed to INO Records around 2002 and released their debut album "I Wish we all Could Win". The first single from the album, "Beautiful Love" won a "Streaming Woodie" award from MTVu and was used for the theme song to "8th and Ocean" and was also featured in the movie "Just My Luck".
In 2006, they released their latest album, "Never Going Back to OK". The first single from this album, also called "Never Going Back to OK" was first released on Total Axxess with Wally back in 2007 and R&R magazine ranked it as the most played song on U.S. Christian CHR radio in 2008.
They've also released a number of other singles that are also quite good. Among them are "Myspace Girl" and the single for this video, "Ocean Wide".
