Seasons After

Rock

The band Seasons After was formed in Wichita, Kansas in 2006. Initially, it consisted of Chris Dawson (guitar), Steve Frank (guitar), Michael Byers (bass), Tim Rails (drums), and Chris Schlichting (lead singer). In 2008, they released a debut album Through Tomorrow independently and went on tour while still keeping daily jobs. Seasons After were signed by ILG/Warner Music Group in 2009, which re-released their debut album in 2010. They gained some popularity with their cover version of Gerard McMann's "Cry Little Sister", the theme song from the 1987 movie The Lost Boys. The song reached No. 15 on Billboard's Rock Songs chart in May 2010. In August 2010, lead singer Chris Schlichting quit the band. No official statement explaining the reasons for his departure was ever published. He was quickly replaced by Tony Housh before the band's US tour in September 2010. Almost in the wake of that change, the band faced a dispute with their record label which lasted nearly three years. During that period, the band was almost inactive on social media, rarely updating the official sources with pictures taken in the studio. On March 22, 2014, the band released a long statement on their official Facebook page in which cited the aforementioned dispute to be the main reason for such a long inactivity. In the same statement, the band announced their independent status and revealed that their second album was long since completed and would be called Calamity Scars & Memoirs. On October 7, 2016, the band revealed the title and the release date of their third album. Manifesto was scheduled to be released on November 11, 2016. The release went as planned.
