"The Afters"是由Joshua Havens 和 Matt Fuqua二人組成。樂(lè)隊(duì)成立前德克薩斯州Mesquite的一家星巴克里，二人結(jié)識(shí)且在那里為顧客唱歌。之后有了組個(gè)樂(lè)隊(duì)的想法，“Blisse”是剛開(kāi)始時(shí)起的名字，可后來(lái)這個(gè)名字已經(jīng)被注冊(cè)了，于是用了"The Afters”這個(gè)名字。隨之，這個(gè)樂(lè)隊(duì)才逐漸的被人所認(rèn)識(shí)。 Formed in 2000 by four Starbucks employees in Mesquite, TX, the Afters are an alternative CCM rock outfit originally known as Blisse. Under their original moniker, members Marc Dodd (drums), Matt Fuqua (guitar and vocals), Josh Havens (vocals and guitar), and Brad Wigg (bass and vocals) released an EP and an album (2001's When the World Is Wonderful) before finding out that there was another Blisse out there, and subsequently changed their name to the Afters. After making a name for themselves in the Dallas music scene, the Afters scored a deal with Epic and released their major-label debut in 2005, entitled I Wish We All Could Win. The album was a hit on the Christian charts, making it to the Top 25. In 2006, the band went back into the studio to record its follow-up, Never Going Back to OK, which was slated for release in February of 2008. 更多>>
