afters

afters presents a novel perspective on indie rock that blends atmospheric, confessional lyricism with a dark and playful sensuality in soundscapes to birth songs that are deeply evocative and profoundly relatable. the band's marriage of whimsy and gravitas is displayed undeniably in their live performances as well as their recorded tracks, gleefully committing to an emotional and explosive performance each and every time they take the stage.

afters released their debut album, an exploration into the mind of a young woman navigating life in a disturbing, glamorous, postmodern world titled EVERYTHING WAS BEAUTIFUL in January 2025. the record touches on a vast array of subjects - from love in an apocalyptic landscape, addiction, and mental illness to whimsical relationships, astrological charts, messy breakups, and everything in between - without feeling the least bit disjointed. with their sophomore album close on the horizon, the group has honed in on their identity and is continuing to stick to singer/ songwriter Megan Rose's call to arms of "I just want to make music that moves people with my best friends beside me on stage."
