Aftertaste

punk rock

There is more than one artist with this name. 1. A Christian hardcore band out of South Africa who have since disbanded. 2. A poppy-punk-rock trio out of Portland, OR who formed in 1996 and disbanded in 2004. 3. An alternative-funk band from Mumbai 4. Bulgarian pop-punk group. 1) Aftertaste was a five piece band from Cape Town, South Africa consisting of Chad Butler (vocals), Shaun Potter (guitar), Mike Pauls (drums), Geoff van Tonder (guitar) and Wilbert van Niekerk (bass). They released a full-length album Two Minutes To A Heartbeat on Angryson Records. They were well-known on the South African music scene and after they disbanded, some of the members re-formed as Tonight We Die. 2) Aftertaste, who began splitting atoms in the summer of 1996, got their start like all of the sweetest affairs: drummer Erick Banks (25), guitarist Michael Petersen (25), and bass playing lead vocalist K.C. Eggo (25) started their foray into music as best friends. The explosive threesome were originally college roommates who decided to kill both time and boredom by buying instruments and teaching themselves how to play. So intent on making music their cure-all, the trio wrote their first two songs the first day they played together. Aftertaste's dynamic chemistry and shared unique sense of humor has allowed them to quickly develop their happy poprocks-in-your-gastank brand of music, by mixing equal parts of pop/punk and indie rock. Our sound is just what naturally falls out of us...
