Seasons After

The beginning and Through Tomorrow

Based in Wichita, Kansas, the band was formed 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 their debut album Through Tomorrow independently and were touring while also having daily job commitments.

The band was signed by ILG/Warner Music Group in 2009, which re-released their debut album in 2010. Seasons After 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.

Seasons After performed on The Vans "Warped Tour" twice and on "Taste of Chaos" tour once.

Member changes, label problems and Calamity Scars & Memoirs

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 April 18, 2014, the band released the song "Wake Me" which became the first single off the second record. For some period, it was available on the official site as a free download. On June 13, 2014, the second single "So Long Goodbye" was published on YouTube as a lyric video. The album was released digitally on September 26, 2014, and physically on February 24, 2015.

After the album was out, the band also released the songs "Lights Out" and "Weathered & Worn" as radio singles.

Manifesto

During an interview with The Gentlemen's Show podcast on August 6, 2015, lead singer Tony Housh said that the band had written upwards of 60 songs while awaiting the outcome of their dispute with Warner Music Group, and announced that Seasons After was intending to release yet another new album by the end of 2015, with the band's aspiration being to release a new record one after the other for as long as they could.

The recording sessions for the band's third studio album were completed in May 2016. In September 2016, the song "Fighter" was released as a single. 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.
