BIOGRAPHY
If you say The Afterglow you say what is actually meant when people speak about a fucking good, hard-edged, real indie rock band.
Founder members are the half english frontman Dave Timson and guitarist Mik Lennard, who started the band in Turin, NW Italy, in 1998. After a few line up changes they found the right drummer in Alex Cherry, who joined the pair in 2002.
The band decided to base themselves and work partially in Italy and partially in the UK, on account of their songwriting and sound, which were felt far more akin to an English 4-piece than to a typical Italian band.
Their first official 4-Tracks Ep Modern Life Virus was published in 2004 by the London based record label Silent Revolution Ltd, who discovered the band after accidentally getting a copy of their previous unofficial demo, with the briliant release of debut single Journey.
The song was hugely broadcast on many big radios in England and in Italy, while its videoclip was, quite unbelievably for an unknown indie band, broadcast on MTV.
From second Ep Love's The Cure (2005) was taken the hit single Love, that received much critical acclaim on indipendent radios and music magazines in both the UK and Italy, with the single itself being featured even in US and Australia.
That was the first release from the band after they signed with EMI Publishing UK, and it was followed by the first extended tours that brought The Afterglow to London, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Birmingham, Swindon, Peterborough, Milan, Florence, Rome, Naples and many more places in Great Britain and Italy, including, obviously, their beloved hometown Turin.
2006 proved to be a crucial year for the band, extensively on tour in Italy and UK, when their debut album Decalogue Of Modern Life, mixed at Markangelo Studios in London by Steve Orchard (U2, Travis, McCartney, Coldplay) and mastered at Soundmasters by Kevin Metcalfe (Bowie, Queen, Oasis), was released in November.
The album has been airplayed, and still is, on many radios in UK, US, Canada, Australia, Italy and in a few other european countries, while the third single Setting Sun has been broadcast on MTV, and on different music networks throughout the world.
The guys, after departure of bassist David Madson, who joined the band for about one year between 2005 and first half of 2006, kept playing live as a 3-piece until the half of 2007, collecting, among the others, their third consecutive appearance at the HUB Festival in Liverpool.
They just settled on their current 4-piece lineup in June 2008, welcoming a new member, who will be announced to fans and supporters soon.
The Afterglow are currently back into recording studios, working on their brand new album, due to be out in 2009.

Hi, thanks for the req. and your message I like your songs. It´s fantastic... I have my wings... I´m flying... Listening your music I´m trying to imagine anything... Your music stimulates various feelings and It´s hypnotic... Being into my deep thoughts I said to myself: how hard can it possibly be to sit with my legs crossed? Never, ever thought I would ever find myself sitting on a blue mat in a brihtly lit room surrounded by complete strangers standing in poses out of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, or whatever that film was called. But there I was sitting and feeling like an idiot. I hate exercise ( I like dancing), I´ll go even further and say that I despise exercise. I don´t like being sweaty. I treat people who say: I´ve just been to the gym in the same way that I treat people who say: I´ve just been to church. I don´t mean that in any kind of disrespectful way - on the contrary/alternatively :-), it´s just that I´m not into it, you know? And god-people and exercise-people tend to share the belief that everyone else is fascinated by whatever it is that they´ve just done. I believe in lots of great... Some beliefs are just best left unexplored... It´s a long story... No pain - no gain. And yet, I went for the first time ever to a gym, and joined the hoards. I´m going to presume that you are now fascinated in what I was doing. Ufff. Thanks for it... Dana
