Ten thousand albums!

After The Anthems — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 04:29:27 +0000

We just hit the 10,000 mark of copies distributed of our newest album “What if the Astronauts are Lying“. This includes online downloads and copies we have sold or given away at shows. We’re stoked that so many of you have downloaded the album and it warms our hearts like a fire on a cold night around Christmas-time. (Even though right now it’s August and air conditioning sounds like more fun right now)

Keep showing your friends our music! Unless you hate our music. Then show your enemies…muahahahah! (but seriously, show your friends).

Update from Montreal

After The Anthems — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 23:39:24 +0000

Hey boys and girls – we’re about to go on in Montreal at Underworld and I got internet for a couple minutes so I figured I’d let you know how it’s been going here. Our first show last week in Toronto was wicked and there were a lot of familiar faces there! Waterloo was a small show but really fun nonetheless.

Last night we got to play in Ottawa with We Were Sharks, Chasing Amee, and Ill City Lights. We also got to see some crazy stuff after the show including watching a dude get arrested by a cop and some brinks security dudes. There was also a pretty confused dude trying to break into our van. lol. But the show was awesome and it was great seeing some of you guys there and meeting a whole bunch of new peeps.

If you got a CD from that show (or any show) add us up on Facebook at http://facebook.com/aftertheanthems. We are stoked to be playing again with We Were Sharks and Ill City Lights again tonight in Montreal and tomorrow in Cornwall.

Peas! and Carrots!

Contests:
Win an acoustic show at your house by ATA. Enter here!

A-Team Tasks:
Vote for us to be the Indie Online Band of the Month on 102.1 The Edge!

A buncha stuff from ATA including how to get twice as hot.

After The Anthems — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 18:52:33 +0000

We have a bunch of stuff coming up which I will outline below in a professional manner because I am such a professional at life (although I just had to use spell-check to see how to spell professional).

Numero 1. We need your help to get our music on 102.1 The Edge in Toronto. Go to http://edge.supernova.com/AfterTheAnthems and click “Vote Now”. As always, when you vote for us anywhere, your hotness is automatically doubled. People around you will start to notice. Ask any one of our fans.

Numero 2. We want to play at your house this summer. Make sure you get your name on the list by visiting http://ataonwarped.com – we’ll pick one person who has “liked” that page randomly and play at their house. You’ll also be voting for us to get on Warped tour. If entering the contest and voting for us were birds, you’d be killing 2 birds with 1…like?

Numbrer 3. I guess that’s it – there’s only actually 2 things. Oh wait, we’re not actually changing our name to “The Backstroke Boys”. Happy April fools.

Sincerely, phil j – the professional.

Changing band name to “The Backstroke Boys”

After The Anthems — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 12:43:53 +0000

After much thought and deliberation, we have decided to change our name to “The Backstroke Boys”. After The Anthems was getting old and boring. We need something new and fresh! This is also more true to our love of everything swimming related.

Download this song:

http://muswap.com/aftertheanthems

Verse 1:
Its like nobody cares now
Politicians and money magicians
It’s like we lost our way around now
As they push the kids aside
These streets are filled with fear now
Walking side by side
Enemies on neighborhood war grounds
I won’t vote – won’t pick a side

Chorus
It’s on us now to push this through (everything has turned to shit now)
It’s our battle and it’s time to be true (I wanna walk away from it now)
No we won’t sit back, we won’t stand down
No it’s not the time to give up, not now
No not now

Verse 2:
We watch Africa owe debts they cannot pay
Debts for which they never had a say
You’re fat enough now go control the world
Governments are lying while the innocent are dying
Money beats a vote at every turn
The government is bought we’ll start to learn
Corporate Oligarchy – watch the bill of rights burn

Breakdown:
They keep it a secret so nobody cares
They keep it a secret so nobody cares
They keep it a secret so nobody cares
They keep it a secret so nobody cares

Just To Say

Verse 1:
You’re left in the dust
Because everyone’s in a rush
When you’ve been forgotten
And left out on the floor
So change your mind if you want
Because there’s no need to be shifting
When they forgot about you
And don’t really want you anymore

Chorus:
When it’s impossible to make things how they used to be
And to get back what you’ve lost can’t you see
You gotta get up – its time to go
Just to say you made it you know
Just to say you made it
Just to say you made it you know

Verse 2:
Winding and whirling and twisting out of reach
And the lies are something you could never teach
When you’re not really wanted anymore
And the facts are something you just cant ignore

Bridge:
So when you feel leftover
And you’ve been all-forgotten
When the world is crashing to floor at your feet
Everything you hoped for
Now could never be
This is story of the way things go
Look up there’s more than you could ever know

Bridge 2:
Just leave it all behind you
Leave this day behind you
Just to say we made it out alive

Verse 1:
Was the world cup in twenty ten
I guess I’m back here again
I saw the girl and I can’t remember when
I couldn’t find a way to begin

Verse 2:
I tried to think of something to say
But all my words just got in the way
Every eye was watching me move
Telling me to stop so I had nothing to prove

Pre-Chorus:
That girl’s got everything
That I could ever want
I just don’t have a way

Chorus:
And I’m still learning not to care what they think
She’s slipping away as I fall out of sync
Cause here and now in this space and time
I’ve got no rhythm and I can’t find the rhyme
I’ve just got no way to make you mine

Verse 3:
I saw her again just yesterday
I played it cool and then looked away
Really just want to break the ice
Instead I stopped and took all their unspoken advice

Bridge:
I had the nerve but lost it
It was there a second ago
I’d rather not admit it
It’s something that I didn’t know

One Way Ticket

Verse 1:
I’ve got a one way ticket
Am I man enough to make it
Through to the next ride
The train tracks follow the borderline
And I’m looking for the signs
On my way home

Chorus:
Hurry up, hurry up lets go
We’ve gotta change you know
It’s our only chance to stay alive
Hurry up, hurry up tonight
Well nothing else feels so right
It’s our only chance to stay alive

Verse 2:
I’m so tired and I can barely see you
But I’m still breathing
On my ride home
The train tracks follow the borderline – yeah
I’m still looking for those signs
On my way home

Bridge:
And you know just where we stand
And the pain that’s killing me
And I know it’s not my fault this time around
This time around

End:
Hurry up
Hurry up lets go
Hurry up
Hurry up lets go
Hurry up
Hurry up lets go
Lets go, lets go

Verse 1:
You run away but where are you going
You can go as far as you want but there’s no place to hide
I felt the same as you do now years and years ago
I’m telling you once – yeah and I’m telling you now

Chorus:
It feels like we’re living in a dream again
And that all I’ve been waiting for
And we’re never gonna turn around
I said we’ll meet back on the other side
Even if it’s make believe
We’re living in two worlds – two worlds apart
Two worlds apart

Verse 2:
You say you’ve wasted your whole life
Trying to find the words to say but they won’t come out right
You beg for all the answers – and I know there’ll be a few
I’m telling you once – yeah and I’m telling you know

Bridge
We’re coming close to how it was before
But we may never see that day – see the day

Verse 1:
I haven’t gotten- got anywhere to go
I’ll take my time and I’ll always make it flow
Cause there’s no hurry to be anything you know
I’ve always gone my own way and I’ll always grow

Pre-Chorus:
From 18 to 23 I’ve been many places
And seen many things
I’ve never been able to predict
The way that this year will go

Chorus:
Cause it’s a winding road and you’ll never know
Where its gonna go (gonna go)
So hold on, sit back, and enjoy the ride that comes your way
And find yourself where you find yourself today

Verse 2:
Yeah I’ve got lots of places I still wanna go
When it is time to leave from here you’ll know
Cause life’s for living
No it’s not for running
So take a deep breath
And feel the love thats coming

Bridge:
Cause if Jesus died for us to be alive
Why are we running – running from this life
You keep forgetting to be here today
So look in my eyes and just stay here

Chorus:
Do you think
Maybe I’m getting older
Maybe I’m getting older
Do you
This is it
If you think
The journey is changing
I don’t know who I’m supposed to be
At 23

Verse 1:
They always asked us why we weren’t asking why
We never knew the answer – but we always had to try
Me and all my friends couldn’t see where we were headed
But at 16 the worlds as big as the sky

Verse 2:
I wish I could tell you why
I fell behind and I’m right on time
We still don’t know the answers
Still not asking why
I pray that God will help me
To do what’s right
And the world is still as wide
Yeah the world is still as wide
It’s even bigger than the sky
It’s even bigger than, it’s bigger than the sky

Bridge:
Na na na na na na na na

Verse 1:
Sometimes I lay awake at night
And I wonder about the lack of light
On the other side of the moon

Verse 2:
If Nasa knows but no one shows
And everyone hides away
I’ve never been there and so I fear
The truth might get away

Chorus:
What if the astronauts are lying
What if the astronauts weren’t there
What if the astronauts are lying
Maybe nothing is the way that it seems

Verse 3:
Some say its weird and some say its near
I just wonder every time I see the skies
There might be civilizations
Just beyond the reach
Of our telescopic eyes
Our telescopic eyes

End Chorus:
Is it an alien uprising
Or is it maybe just new friends
Is it a barren desert
Where the aliens play soccer, my friend

Verse 1:
I think the biggest problem in the world right now is complaining
I realize that I also am complaining
But if we could stop going around the clock
Watching as the hands tick tock
We could find our way around this roadblock

Verse 2:
I think the biggest problem is unnecessary complaining
There’s too much to change if we’re caught up with all this complaining
When the things we can’t control
Are the things that take a toll
It’s the thing that stands between us and the solution

Chorus:
I’d say bring me that horizon
And I know that I’d be happy where I am
Even more with where Im going
You can’t stop a train thats not welded to the rails

Verse 3:
I know that we’ve got a chance to find a solution
Or even to make a new years resolution
Into a dark and scary night
I won’t give up without a fight
I can’t wait to find the next adventure

Bonus:
I found a stink bug
In my sisters hair
I never told her

Intro:
This used to be it
Now it’s all gone
If they’re not going to change
Maybe we’ve got to say
Is it the land of the free
Or the home of the enslaved

Verse 1:
America, your country
Fight for your right to be free
What happens to the land of liberty – yeah
When the television is lying
It’s like nobody’s trying
And the lobbyists are buying all the votes now

Chorus:
This used to be it
Now it’s all gone
If you’re not going to change
Maybe we’ve got to say
Is it the land of the free
Or the home of the enslaved
This used to be all
I wanted to be
Will you let this go
Your country
Is it the land of the free
Or the home of the enslaved

So stop believing all the words they’re saying
Words they’re saying now
Is everybody going crazy
Can we find the truth in this somehow – somehow

Verse 2:
The war you fight can’t save you
When it’s the bank that runs you
When they control everything now – yeah
So change the system of this
And come light up the darkness
To make it better than before

Breakdown:
You’ve got it in you now
You’ve got it in you now
Be brave you know
You’ve got it in you now

After The Anthems — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 19:44:13 +0000

For almost the last 2 years we’ve had our bass covered by the man: Krys Neerhof. It’s been great times and we’ve loved having him with us! Krys has recently decided to move on to other things and he’ll be leaving a hole in ATA that will be hard to fill! In fact we decided it would be so hard that we just aren’t going to try and fill it. Lee Zavitz is going to be taking over the bass guitar duties.

As sad as we are to see Krys leaving, we are excited for the future. This brings us back to the way we were back in high school when we first started jamming together. We started as a 3 piece band with Lee on Bass, Phil C on lead vocals and guitar, and Phil J on Drums. We are super stoked and have been jamming like crazy .

Stay tuned for the new ATA album coming in 2011. And Krys, we love you man!

- PhilJ, Lee, and Phil C
