Band prepares to hit the road with Newsboys for Love Riot Tour
Nashville, Tenn. (September 12, 2016) — The Afters’ highly-anticipated fifth studio album Live On Forever is available now, hitting nearly three years after their previous debut, Life Is Beautiful, which made its mark on the Billboard 200.
Already a favorite among critics, reviewers have described Live On Forever as “innovative pop,” saying the music has a “fresh sound and vibe.”
“Live On Forever is enjoyable from start to finish with some of the band’s best work featured in the title track.” – New Release Today
“You can expect an amplification of their power pop style and huge, catchy hooks to carry you through the rest of the year.” – CCM Magazine
“This fresh pop sound will likely draw new and old fans together to celebrate the highly anticipated album’s release.” – Jesus Wired
“The entire album is pure and points directly to God. Live On Forever is truly epic and timeless.” – Christian Concert Alerts
“Live On Forever is a beautiful and comforting record. The album’s power certainly lies in the title track, but the songs surrounding are equally as impactful and, moreover, complement the themes of eternity in God’s presence with themes of God’s work on this earth.” – The Christian Beat
The album’s lead single “Live On Forever” hit top 5 at radio, exciting fans as they got a taste of what to expect from the new record. The band’s current single “Battles” is following in its footsteps, steadily climbing the Christian radio charts.
In support of Live On Forever, The Afters recently performed their new music at Billboard and on Nashville’s WSMV and have discussed the new album with Lifezette, The Church Collective and more.

About The Afters
Texas-based, four-piece band The Afters were propelled into the national spotlight with their INO/Sony Music Label Group debut I Wish We All Could Win. The project spawned the swirling, melodic hit “Beautiful Love,” earning the band an enthusiastic following when the song was selected as the theme track for MTV’s “8th and Ocean.” “Beautiful Love” was also the most downloaded track of 2006 on the iTunes ® Inspirational charts and garnered the band an mtvU award. The Afters’ sophomore release Never Going Back To OK (INO/Columbia Records) debuted in the Top 50 on the Billboard Top 200, and proved to be a sensation on the silver screen with “Grey’s Anatomy” (ABC), “Dr. Phil,” “Army Wives” (Lifetime) and “Rachael Ray.” The band’s third record Light Up the Sky bolstered two No. 1 radio hits, as well as placements on “The Biggest Loser” (NBC) and “You Deserve It” (ABC). A slew of media including Rolling Stone, Seventeen.com, E! News Live, TV Guide, Premiere Radio and more also picked up on covering The Afters. The band released its fourth studio album, Life Is Beautiful in April 2013 via Fair Trade and their fifth studio album, Live On Forever, is available now.
