Sweeteverafter is happy to announce that their slightly sophomore release Acoustic Aftertaste has just cleared production and is slated for release in mid March 2013.
The album was born on On Dec. 7th, 2011 when an intimate group of friends-like-family and close fans gathered at a studio in Oceanside California to celebrate the launch of Sweeteverafter’s first project, My Death. Circumstance would have it that the rock band performed songs from their new album “unplugged” on the soundstage.
For a group that typically rages on stage, it was only appropriate it seemed, to celebrate the finished album by honoring the essence and the origins of the music. After all, before anything is plugged in, hashed out and erupted into existence, it begins with a guitar and a voice. This next album is the homage, and the essence, of Sweeteverafter.
Acoustic Aftertaste will be available on iTunes and other digital music retailers, and the single "Find Myself" will be available on the website for FREE for limited time! (See our music page and fans, help yourself and spread the word!!)
We also are happy to let fans know that you can find Sweeteverafter on Pandora.com now! This is huge for us and we're so thankful for those who are making ways for us to share our music!!
As for this next year, we are planning a couple shows to support the new album and will be promoting it across various channels. And we'll be writing (yea!!) for album #3 ~ can't wait to start pouring out the creativity with that one!!
Till next blog!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
San Diego Metal Band SWEETEVERAFTER Nominated for Hollywood Music in Media Award
SAN DIEGO, November 5th, 2012 -- San Diego-based hard rock band SWEETEVERAFTER has been nominated for a Hollywood Music in Media Award in the Metal category for 2012. Their single “Find Myself” off their debut album My Death was selected for consideration at this year’s awards event, taking place at The Fonda Theater on Thursday, November 15th in Hollywood, Calif.
The album is a balanced, hard-rock offering with an acoustic aftertaste that has listeners hooked and particularly drawn to the nominated song. “ ‘Find Myself’ speaks of things lost and found,” said lead singer, Ammee Pearl. “The song comes from a very personal place and having that song resonate with our audience and then recognized by the industry…it’s truly an honor.”
The song is the first single from the band’s debut album, My Death, their full-length studio record. Working with mixer and producer Cedrick Courtois, who’s credits include Destiny’s Child, Beyoncé, Earshot, Blowing Up the Moon, Necrofaith, and Cynical Dialogue, the band recorded and produced the album in Oceanside, California.
The band will be attending the award ceremony, which takes place on November 15th, and is hopeful for a win. For more information, promo requests or to set up an interview with SWEETEVERAFTER , please visit the contact page on this website.
Well, time has passed and time and flowed on through what we know is the world. The Sweetever's have been busy with music and life and so much other great stuff (some a bit more difficult than others, but that's sometimes just what it is). You take the good and the bad and really that's what makes life, life. We're so thankful that we have music to express and create and share!
So, some band updates: You can now hear us on San Diego's Rock Radio station 105.3's Loud and Local Show, Sunday nights. If you listen be sure to request some Sweeteverafter for your ear buds.
To satisfy your "Sweet" tooth, you can also hear us on internet radio, Jango: http://www.jango.com/music/Sweeteverafter. We have two singles in rotation and plan on more. We are also anxiously awaiting our final approval to get airplay on Pandora.com. We will def. be letting you know when you can create your Sweeteverafter station!
In speaking of new releases, we're currently working on releasing a couple acoustic versions of our songs, 'Find Myself' and 'My Death'. We've been working with some video and mastering the songs so we can make them available to you! We'll keep updating our facebook and twitter with details, it's something we really can't wait to share.
And, the big news!! As we've been playing shows around San Diego, Orange and LA Counties, we've been bitten by the second album bug. So, this summer and into the fall, we'll be writing and doing pre-production on album number two. Expect something a bit darker, a bit more modern but still all encompassing with the heavy-yet-acoustically dynamic Sweeteverafter sound. And I guess, the darker the sound may be, the brighter the light will seem ~ and that will be the vision.
As always, you can find us on facebook, twitter, youtube, and here, on our website.
Till next blog! ~ love, a.

The last months have found us busy playing shows around San Diego County in support of the new album and we capped December with our Album Release Event, Dec. 9th. It was a great night of music and "studio-showing" in Oceanside California as all who attended were treated to some great eats, tours of MediaTech Institute's cutting edge recording facilities and an intimate acoustic performance from the band.
The show took place in the studio's on-set area, and we were blessed enough to not only record the concert with our producer, Cedrick Courtois, but we also taped the whole event and we've got some great plans in the works for a DVD of the night ... for now please enjoy something else we debuted that night. Our first official music video!
For now, we wish all a Merry Christmas and a Great New Year!
Check out our second release off the album, My Death. A racing rendition of Jefferson Airplane's iconic hit "Somebody to Love".
The album is available for sale via major digital music outlets, including iTunes and Amazon.com. You can find Sweeteverafter on facebook, twitter and online www.sweeteverafter.net
