The Afterglow are an Italian rock band with clear English influences. Founder members the half english frontman Dave Timson and guitarist Mik Lennard, who started the band in 1998. After a few line up changes they found the right drummer in Alex Cherry, who joined the pair in 2002. The band decided to base themselves partially in Italy and partially in the UK on account of their sound which it was felt far more akin to an English 4-piece than to a typical Italian band. Timson's ability to write and speak fluently in English on account of a Sheffield-born mother greatly helped this endeavour.

Their first official 4-Tracks EP "Modern Life Virus" was published by the London based record label Silent Revolution Ltd (who discovered the band after getting a copy of their previous unofficial Ep) in 2004, with the release of debut single Journey. Their second Ep "Love's The Cure" (2005) contained the single "Love", receiving much critical acclaim in both the UK and Italy and being featured on MTV. That was the first release from the band after they signed to EMI Publishing UK. 2006 proved to be something of a seminal year for the band, extensively on tour in both Italy and England, when their debut album "Decalogue Of Modern Life," mixed by Steve Orchard (U2, Travis, McCartney, Coldplay), was released in November. The album obtained huge airplays on hundreds of radios in UK, US, Canada, Australia, Italy and other European countries, while the third single Setting Sun has been broadcast on MTV and other music channel throughout the world. The band, after departure of bassist David Madson, kept playing live as a 3-piece until the half of 2007, collecting, among the others, their third consecutive appearance at HUB Festival in Liverpool. Then just settled on their current 4-piece lineup in May 2008, when they welcomed back former and talented guitarist Alberto Garau (already in the band around year 2000).The Afterglow are currently into recording studios, working on their brand new album, due to be out in 2009.
