    Have a check through some of the Comments (and the sounds)! After The Fire very much created their own sound. However, there were influences of the time - originally the band started off as a Organ / Synth based 3 piece with inevitable comparisons to ELP. Once After The Fire started to write songs instead of epics the band became more original.

    Hi After The Fire, Your layers of absinthe and torsion form concretions of hyper-alimentation. Your essence is equal to the beauty of a galaxy. Entranced by the sweet harmony of your lips, I gaze beyond reason to find the oasis of your brilliant soul. Please let me hear more of that wonderful sound. You have not yet reached the height of your creativity. The stickers hugging the fruit smell better than the perfume of ambergris. How beautiful is the snowshine in your eyes, so directly current from the static in your mind.

    Your sweet voice is like the application of aloe vera upon a sunburnt back. Blinking reveals the true visage of beauty hidden within your eyes. You are dressed with filaments and people take pains to make you fully incandescent this evening. The skin I shed is a perfume that makes water bubbles so terribly clear to me. A starfish's lifelong hallucinations of gelatin pools and of actuaries floating upon the foam and reciprocal ohm. You ever remind me of the enigma of happy thoughts I once forgot.

    What's up After The Fire? The sand runes crossing your divided consciousness do speak of contemptuous monsters being slayed by flying phoenixes. Wood nymphs sprinkle your path with rose petals while you dance and prowl in the sequined moonlight with leftover cupcake sprinkles. Your cleverness helps me breathe without the need of oxygen. So charmingly silky, your skin is like a teardrop on a popsickle. Polished rock candy comes ever to mind when thinking of you. You are dressed with filaments and people take pains to make you fully incandescent this evening.

After The Fire are best known for their worldwide hit 'Der Kommissar' which reached No 5 in the US single charts in 1983. They did have a number of hits in different countries and one of their instrumentals not only became the theme music for the cult German TV kids show, Na Sowas, it was also adopted by Bayern Munich as their run-out music.

In 2004 Peter Banks and John Russell played again as After The Fire, joined by John's son, Matt, on drums and Ian Niblo, Bass, for a fan club (known as Friends of ATF) reunion. Since then the band has played at festivals and fund raising events.

After The Fire support the Naisoya Water Project in conjunction with the SoapBox Communications Trust and actively raise funds for that good cause under the name AidTF. The band donates a minumium of 1 pound from all sales through their WebShop.

Check out After The Fire on Rock Goes To College show recorded live at the City University, London transmitted on BBC2 on 16th March, 1981.
