It's been 20 years since Everclear released their 1997 multiplatinum smash So Much For The Afterglow, yet the album remains a beloved fan favorite, and continues to inspire new generations of musicians & fans today. Bolstered by the recordâs enduring popularity, Everclear are about to embark on a highly anticipated tour celebrating its milestone anniversary, with plans to perform the album front to back, including some tracks the band has never played live. As the bandâs third full-length, So Much For The Afterglow built upon the momentum of 1995âs Sparkle And Fade, with a slew of unforgettable songs that permeated MTV and alternative rock radio. The albumâwhich remains Everclearâs best-selling release to dateâquickly won over listeners with its trademark combination of melody, rhythmic energy, evocative lyrics and thundering guitar crunch.âIt makes me feel really good when I read a lot of what people still think about the album, and how many bands have been influenced by itâhow much impact it had on themâand I think about how much impact it had on me, in a different way of course,â says singer-guitarist Art Alexakis. âItâs still a thing; itâs still relevant and real 20 years later.â CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE TICKETS!
