Seasons After Bio

Seasons After is a five piece rock/metal band from the Air Capital of Wichita, KS. The band formed in late 2006. Their radio-ready sound of blended guitars and vocal harmonies has been classified by some as nu metal with classic commercial radio sensibility.

In just two short years, Seasons After has performed on The Vans Warped Tour, Taste of Chaos, the Jagermeister Music Tour and The Rock Star Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. The band tours extensively and recently signed to Dirtbag Music Records. Their fan base continues to grow exponentially as they continue to tour with plans for a full nationwide tour coming in the Fall of 2009.

"Through Tomorrow" embarks audiences on a journey through life's toils and snares, at times lifting the listener up with lyrics like, "Stand for something now, don't fall for anything" and then sends listeners crashing back down to somber reality as told in the lyrics of "The Worst Parts". In all, "Through Tomorrow" is a feast of crunchy guitar riffs, huge commercial radio hooks and heavy bass and drum patterns blended with harmonic vocals.

Album Review

Review of "Through Tomorrow" - Melodic.net - Troy Kramm 2/17/09

"There is absolutely no messing around on this album. Seasons After have given us something special here. The metal genre has been a little bland for me lately, but these guys are here to spice things up a bit.

Fans of Killswitch Engage, Bullet For My Valentine, Machine Head, etc…. will love these guys. Not only do you get some intense mind numbing screams from Seasons After, but lead singer, Chris Schlichting also provides plenty of clean crisp vocals that will appeal to the masses. Musically they pummel your senses with churning guitar riffs and blasting drums throughout. It is only a matter of time before these guys get signed. After listening to this CD, it was hard to believe that it was independently released.

There is no way to choose a handful of songs to call my favorite here, this is a CD that you are going to listen to in its entirety. With that being said, here are a few that you can start with. “Some Things Burn”, “11:11”, “Save You”, “Cry Little Sister”. Any one of these songs will show you exactly what to expect from these guys. This CD is mean, nasty and beautiful all at the same time. It cannot be overlooked and has to be added to your playlist. Go out, get it and love it."

Feedback About Seasons After

"Seasons After actually reminds me of bands like Avenged Sevenfold and Slipknot. These are bands that are clearly metal but have big hooks. I thought it was cool..."
- Marc Meltzer / Owner + Artist Management, The Syndicate

"I listened to "Cry Little Sister" and it was f&^%!# AWESOME! This band has it's $(*!# together..."
- Tim Sheridan / Program Director, KIBZ/104-1 The Blaze, Lincoln, NE. 68504

"Great rock any radio station and listener will love!"
- Ray Michaels / Program Director, KICT-95.1, Wichita, KS

SEASONS AFTER are an absolutely fantastic rock/metal/prog type group (emphasis on the rock and metal ... just a sprinkle of the prog!) from Wichita, KS in the USA. One listen to even the first track on their excellent CD "Through Tomorrow" shows you that these guys are consummate pros who know exactly what they want to do, where they want to go, and how to do it. They've played with countless bands that are well known to rock fans ... and we daresay that they've blown more than one of those established groups off the stage. This is truly some high quality music that we predict you'll hearing a lot of in the times to come.
