Louder Than The Music

Texas-based, four-piece band The Afters will deliver their much-anticipated new studio album, 'Life Is Beautiful', on 16th April 2013. The 12-track project, the band's 4th overall, comes more than two and a half years after the launch of 'Light Up The Sky' which delivered two Number 1 hits ('Light Up The Sky', 'Lift Me Up') and a bevy of film and television placements (New Year's Eve, The Biggest Loser, The Hills, Army Wives).

Joined once again by award-winning producer Dan Muckala (Backstreet Boys, Chris Tomlin, Britt Nicole) for eight of its 12 tracks, the new album draws inspiration from the encouraging promise that God is continuously with us and life is still beautiful no matter what challenges we face.

"Our hope for our record - and a lot of heartache went into this album - is that it will encourage people to see how God is working in their lives," says vocalist-guitarist Josh Havens. "He's not just there on the sunny days. No matter what we go through in life, God is still with us and life is beautiful - God is beautiful."
