To write off The Afterbeat as just another sound-alike bunch of off time herky-jerks would be a grievous error! Darryl Sterdan, The Winnipeg Sun

This is required listening for those who'd like to think they had a finger on the pulse of the emerging ska scene Frantic Ska Web Zine

The Afterbeat have clearly established themselves not only in the top tier of Winnipeg bands, but also as one of the hottest up-and-coming ska acts in Canada.

We're talking about possibly the sharpest dressed band to come out of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada!

The Afterbeat is a six-piece Ska ensemble that has been together since late 2000. Mixing upbeat contemporary influences into the well known soulful blend of old school Ska and Punk music. The Afterbeat have been continuously pleasing their listeners and working hard to improve their sound!

The Afterbeat were named in Alternative Press (Aug 2003) magazine by Bucket Hingley (The Toasters/Moon Ska Records) as one of the top ten North American Ska acts performing presently. Things remain solid and they have released an EP as well as appeared on numerous compilations while still making a strong effort to get their name known internationally. With all of this, they always have the time to still perform for friends and fans all over North America. They have performed with such greats as The Skatalites, Bad brains, Alexisonfire, The Slackers, Moses Mayes, Mayor Mca, Bedouin Soundclash, 18 Visions, Tabaruk, The Planet Smashers, Mustard Plug, Catch 22 and Big D and he Kids Table.

They are also preparing to unleash their first full length recording titled Personals upon the music world. In the end you see, it basically comes down to two things: The music and the message to move your body and have a good time! The Afterbeat brings forth this feel and sound to its listeners. That's what's important in Ska music, right?

Whether at a club downtown or just the radio sound, you wont be disappointed and they will keep you coming around! The Afterbeat has begun world domination, one step at a time.
