Afterglow
Afterglow is an American rock n' roll band from Indianapolis, IN best known for there songs "Family, Friends and a Funeral", "Marion Barry" and "The Road".

History
Afterglow fist formed in 2004 under the title "Company Name". Band members at the time were Jacob Ludwig on guitar, Robert Shank on bass, Lee Eisenbarth on drums and keyboards, and Graham White on vocals. Later, in 2005, Lee Eienbarth left the band and Nick Kelly was brought in. The name "Afterglow" was soon adopted.

The firt song that the band ever wrote was called "A Place Where We Belong". The next songs written were "Last Chance To Dance", "Novocain", "Marion Barry", "Labor Day", "September Son", and a "Heaven". The band recorded two demos in Jacob's basement. These demos contained all the songs that the band had written up until that point. The second demo even contained an acoustic version of "Novocain".

Hiatus And Other Projects
After a falling out with Graham, the band decided it would be best to search for other vocalists. Only three people were tried out, however, none of them fit the bands liking. Frustrated with a lack of concerts, and discontent with not writing songs or having any kinda of creative output, the band took a 5 month break from May to October of 2006.

Jacob, Robert, and Lee started a side project called "Project Thus" that was an instrumental experiment. Jon and Nick tried a side project entitled "Essence Of Ecstasy" that never got off the ground.

Reunion And New Direction
The band regrouped on October 14th, 2006 for, the all day festival, Ram-Z-Fest in Indiana. Never finding a new singer, Jon and Jake began to share vocal duties. It was only a few weeks later that the band wrote their most popular song "Family, Friends and a Funeral". The band began to play more and more shows in and around the Indianapolis area gathering a small following of fans.

The band continued to write songs through the winter of 2006-2007, refined them and recorded their first Ep in July of 2007. The four song disc was a collection of songs that represented the many facets of the band. "Marion Barry", "Family, Friends and a Funeral", "Last Chance To Dance" and "Mario (Is My Bestest Friend  Ever)" were chosen.

The Ep, along with an onslaught of summer shows helped the band to reach as high as #16 on the 100 top indie artists in Indiana on Myspace.com

Afterglow is set to record another 4 song Ep in October of 2008. The songs are yet to be decided.
