For the first time in over two years, The Afters are making music again.The Christian pop band just released their fourth studio album. The Texas based band, were thrown into the spotlight after Sony Music label released their first album " I Wish We All Could Win". The record included one of the bands all-time hits "Beautiful Love". It was the most downloaded track of 2006 on iTunes, as well as becoming the theme song for many hit television channels. The Afters new release "Life is Beautiful" is based on the last two years of the band members lives and how their struggles and experiences have led to the making of the acclaimed album.

"I think 'Life is Beautiful', the record, could probably be summed up in the song "Life is Beautiful". It's all of these different aspects of life, good and bad. 'Life is Beautiful' is actually the first song we wrote on this record, and when I heard the statement 'Life is Beautiful,' I immediately heard the melodies and what it would sound like. We just wanted to take songs that capture every little part of our life and to see how God wants to mold us into those things." stated The Afters in talking about the making of "Life is Beautiful".

The bands fourth studio album has already earned The Afters more praise and a continuous abundance of fans. The albums lead single "Every Good Thing" has continued to climb the charts and has made it to the Top 10 on Billboard Hot AC chart and Top 20 on Billboard National Christian audience. Seventy-five stations are still playing The Afters latest album throughout the day.

This fall, the band is planning to go on tour and promote "Life is Beautiful". The tour will began late this fall and will hopefully feature artists such as Building 429 and Hawk Nelson. 

"We are planning a really fun fall tour with our friends Building 429. Jason (singer of Building 429) have been talking about doing a tour together for four years, so we are finally doing it. We are going to have Hawk Nelson come along with us, they are great friends and will be a great addition to the tour too. So it's going to be a awesome line-up" shared Josh, lead singer of The Afters.
