This bands history is not unlike many others. Highs and lows, good times and bad times. Its been filled with blood, sweat, pain and raw human emotion, all driven by a passion for their craft that culminates in their music and live performances with an undeniable intensity that is as fresh and original as each new day. But unlike the others, this band isnt about its past its about the future. Formed in the Spring of 2004, After the Fall (AtF) has wasted no time making its way to the top of the local and regional music scene pecking order. Fronted by vocalist DARIN BAKER and Vocalist/Guitarist BJ GALBRAITH, along with fellow guitarist BRANDON CORNISH, and solidly backed by bassist STEVE CRAVEN and drummer MATT FERRANTE, AtFs songs are much more than just words with music to them. Their musicianship notwithstanding, AtF has managed to create a sound and a voice that instantly connects with their listeners. Their lyrics speak directly to you, so recognizable that it can scare you. And to see them live, well, it just takes it all to an even higher level. The band has recently finished recording its first full length album (HOPE DIES HARD) which will be available Oct.4th, AtF is still managing to crank out new material for its second release. AftertheFall is obviously geared and driven towards original music.
This year has been a whirlwind of success, including the performance at the annual Rock For Life Benefit Concert (started and organized each year by Steve and Matt and now 8 years old), where they performed as one of 18 bands over 2 days to raise money for kids with cancer. This show has become one of the largest independent concert events in the region and shows no signs of slowing down. AfterthaFall has played venues in NYC, Cleveland, Buffalo and even Texas and has opened for L.A. Guns, DOPE, Slaves on Dope and other national acts. Also featured on WDVE's Coffee House After the Fall is poised and ready to connect to the masses through their music and live performance. We could give you the same reasons why you should play our music just like every other band would and will. Just listen to songs like Liquid Jesus, Last Goodbye and Blame and you be the judge.
