Alternative Rock
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 and guitarist BJ Galbraith, along with fellow guitarist Bruce Craven, 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.
Although all four of them have been in successful bands before; BJ and Bruce in Sundog, and Steve and Matt in Hybrid and SuperXero, it took the four of them playing together to create that rare, explosive combination that comes around every now and then that, regardless of your will, draws you in and makes you want to be a part of it. A reaction that is almost chemical in nature, where all of the proper ingredients are mixed, each to their exacting amounts, tweaked and fine tuned from all thats come before. It is only a matter of time before you find yourself becoming a part of After the Fall Currently touring in support of their recently released 5 song demo EP, AtF is still managing to crank out new material. The last year has been a whirlwind of success, including their performance at the annual Rock For Life Benefit Concert (started and organized each year by Steve and Matt and now six years old), where they performed as one of 18 bands over 2 days to raise money for cancer. This show has become one of the largest independent concert events in the region and shows no signs of slowing down. Add to this their top 10 ranking in the Great Lakes Region of the Emergenza Festival and their invitations to and performances at Major Record Label showcases; After the Fall is poised and ready to connect to the masses through their music and live performance
