Description

Out of Northeastern Pennsylvania comes a unique and refreshing musical force known as OurAfter. The core of OurAfter was formed by singer/songwriter/keyboardist and guitarist John Phillips, guitarist Michael Dudley, and multi-instrumentalist Zhenon Zaia. Each member having come together from previous bands, projects, and musical backgrounds, to create their own original sound, which would incorporate elements of rock, pop, and electronic music

In the genesis of the group, the members began writing and developing music and ideas to flesh out their songs with Azarius Marat from Palm Beach, Florida, handling production duties. When the time came to select a drummer, they summoned Michaels friend and former bandmate Eli Hludzik. With Eli's wide range of styles and influences, along with his sharp percussion skills, he perfectly suited the sound that would become OurAfter.

Following the addition of Eli, OurAfter went into Sound Investments Recording Studio in Scranton, Pennsylvania with Azarius Marat, to begin work on their debut album. With Eli's drumming, Zhenon's bass playing, use of synthesizers, guitar texture ideas and effects, Michaels distinctive guitar style and sound, and John's vocal, synth, and guitar work, teamed with Azarius unique production techniques, the project was off to a good start.

Once tracking of the music was completed, production and tracking of the vocals began. During this period, producer/engineer Jeff Peters from Los Angeles, California worked on co-production of some of the songs, to add more elements to the constantly evolving sound of OurAfter.

After John's vocals were completed, focus was once again put on the music. The group experimented with unique sounds, effects, and production techniques to add to and enhance their sound, but still felt something was missing. That "something" turned out to be assistant engineer and guitarist Clyde.

Clyde was known to suggest ideas in the studio while the group were recording, especially ideas for guitar parts. Eventually, he was approached by OurAfter to be the third guitarist, an offer which he accepted. Clyde's tasteful guitar work turned out to be the missing element in OurAfter's sound. With his inclusion, the group was now complete.

After further tracking of music and vocals, OurAfter began mixing their album. During this time, OurAfter generated much attention on the local music scene and in local music media. In addition, "Karma", a song from the upcoming debut album, was selected for the soundtrack of an upcoming independent film, "BLOODLINES", starring Lou Diamond Phillips.

With unique styles and sounds, fierce originality, and very strong material, OurAfter is out to make their mark on the music scene. The group's debut (as well as the album's) will be on May 28th, 2006. You can check out the group at their website (www.ourafter.com), as well as their MySpace page (www.myspace.com/ourafter).
