The Afters are funny…really funny.

Just ask them what they’ve learned since the release of their successful debut, I Wish We All Could Win (INO/Columbia).

 

“Long division,” vocalist/guitarist Brad Wigg replies.

 

To which lead singer Josh Havens asks with a straight face, “Have you really?”

 

“Well, I’ve been working on the Rubix Cube,” adds vocalist/guitarist Matt Fuqua. “I’m starting to comprehend it. How the colored sides are fixed, you can’t change them…”

 

In all seriousness, Josh rebounds, “I think we have learned a lot about our chemistry… We have really learned how to be gracious to each other. We’re like a family now. We love each other like brothers… I think that we’ve also learned that we are not a band that writes music on the road very well… We wrote our album during times that we had blocked off to be off the road… I think we [refined] our sound, too.”
