The sound is reminiscent of 90&#8217;s BritPop and Alternative, but is also on the bleeding edge of modern rock and roll.&nbsp; And for lead vocalist Ben Grey, the track is a long-overdue addition to their catalog:&nbsp;<i>&#8220;It is crazy to have been a band for this long without contributing a primal-teenage-bedroom-rock riff. Happy to finally right a wrong.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to &#8220;After All&#8221;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src = \"https:\/\/ffm.to\/dearboyafterall\" height = \"600px\" width = \"100%\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"v1MsoNormal\">The collaboration with fellow LA alternative band&nbsp;<b>Rocket&nbsp;<\/b>brings a layered vocal chemistry that elevates the track into dream-soaked territory. The partnership stems from a genuine friendship that runs deeper than music.&nbsp;<i>&#8220;We first played with Rocket on New Year&#8217;s Eve a few years ago and became fast friends. We&#8217;re both from the Valley, went to the same pre-school, a tale as old as time,&#8221;<\/i>&nbsp;Grey explains.&nbsp;<i>&#8220;But truly, they&#8217;re an important band, and I think Alithea has one of the defining rock voices of this generation. We feel so honored she sang on After All. It&#8217;s the Catherine Wheel\/Throwing Muses moment we&#8217;ve always dreamed of.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"v1MsoNormal\">The lyric-forward single is bittersweet in its captivating breakdowns and emotional hook, with the track moving through powerful dynamic variations and catchy melodies. The words, somehow both contemplative and untamed at the same time.&nbsp;<i>&#8220;I feel everything \/ It&#8217;s better than nothing \/ I want coffee rings \/ On my future coffin.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/i>With a stadium sized anthemic chorus and the song&#8217;s shoegaze-kissed textures, &#8220;After All&#8221; channels the moody pulse of &#8217;90s Britpop and fuzzed out Alternative through a modern LA indie lens\u2014a perfect fit for fans of alt melancholia with a nostalgic edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experience &#8220;After All&#8221; on YouTube:<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"Dear Boy - After All (OFFICIAL VIDEO)\" style=\"width:640px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe hidef\" id=\"WYL_0JWnr_9luu0\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F0JWnr_9luu0%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0JWnr_9luu0\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT4M9S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2025-08-05T06:11:42Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_0JWnr_9luu0\" data-src=\"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F0JWnr_9luu0%2Fhqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">Dear Boy - After All (OFFICIAL VIDEO)<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/0JWnr_9luu0\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F0JWnr_9luu0%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"Dear Boy - After All (OFFICIAL VIDEO)\" width=\"640\" height=\"340\" \/><\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"After All \/\/ out now on Last Gang Records \/\/ https:\/\/ffm.to\/dearboyafterall Follow Dear Boy http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dearboyofficial Credits : Directed by Ben Grey Director of Photography - Harley Astorga Edited by Ben Grey &amp; Justin Daashuur Hopkins Gaffer - Jose Martinez Production Design by - Paisley Grey &amp; Matteo Debole Color &amp; Titles by Ryan Sanders Lights &amp; Confidence provided by Martin Gero Filmed at Pauhaus (Los Angeles, CA) 16 mm footage courtesy of Internet Archives ************************* AFTER ALL Produced \/\/ Engineered \/\/ Mixed by Aron Kobayashi Ritch Mastered by Matt Colton Recorded at Studio G (Brooklyn, NY) Assistant Engineer - Hayden Ticehurst Vocal Engineer (Studio 22) - Joey Oaxaca Percussion \/\/ Sampling \/\/ Guitars \/\/ - Aron Kobayashi Ritch Bass - Sam Wilkerson Vocals by Alithea Tuttle Alithea&#039;s vocals engineered by Desi Scaglione *************** After All written by Dear Boy Lyrics by Ben Grey Last Gang Records 2025 Dear Boy is; Ben Grey (lead vocals \/ guitars) Austin Hayman (lead guitars \/ vocals) Keith Cooper (drums \/ vocals) Lucy Lawrence (bass \/ vocals) Lyrics AFTER ALL I feel everything It\u2019s better than nothin\u2019 I want coffee rings On my future coffin Yeah yeah yeah Don\u2019t waste time Without mine Don\u2019t waste time Are you close enough to change me?

Both instrumentally sophisticated and sonically raw, &#8220;After All&#8221; evokes feelings of nostalgia yet maintains a unique sound and original message. Following the success of their 2022 debut&nbsp;<b><i>Forever Sometimes<\/i>,<\/b>&nbsp;Dear Boy took a step back from perfectionist production practices and instead leaned into creative spontaneity. Written in only twelve sessions and recorded live in under two weeks,&nbsp;<i>Celebrator<\/i>&nbsp;is a feat in palpable energy and musical chemistry. Their sophomore effort promises to be&nbsp;<i>&#8220;melodic, moving, and unpredictable&#8221;<\/i>\u2014an album that sounds like discovering&nbsp;<i>&#8220;a completely new sound. Songs from another lifetime. Confetti in every measure.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"v1MsoNormal\">A triumph in LA&#8217;s underground music scene, Dear Boy was formed by lead vocalist\u00a0<b>Ben Grey<\/b>\u00a0and drummer\u00a0<b>Keith Cooper<\/b>, while they were residing in London in their mid-twenties.\u00a0<b>Austin Hayman\u00a0<\/b>(lead guitar) and\u00a0<b>Lucy Lawrence<\/b>\u00a0(bass, vocals), joined once the band returned home, the four have set out to establish <a href=\"https:\/\/livemusicblog.com\/blogs\/music-blog\/festival-culture-meets-digital-entertainment-how-music-fans-spend-their-off-hours\/\">something thoughtfully informed<\/a> and completely fresh. Despite the band&#8217;s American roots, Dear Boy has always drawn deeply from the music of &#8217;80s and &#8217;90s Britpop and shoegaze, citing influences from\u00a0<b>Pulp\u00a0<\/b>and\u00a0<b>Oasis<\/b>\u00a0to\u00a0<b>Slowdive\u00a0<\/b>and<b>\u00a0Jesus and Mary Chain<\/b>, while equally embracing American alternative titans like\u00a0<b>Pixies<\/b>\u00a0and<b>\u00a0R.E.M<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"v1MsoNormal\"><i>&#8220;We made this album to remember why we do this in the first place,&#8221;<\/i>&nbsp;says Dear Boy.&nbsp;<i>&#8220;Because we love it. We adore each other. Joy. Connection. Heartbreak. Celebration. We&#8217;re not interested in anything other than that.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"v1MsoNormal\">Dear Boy has quietly become a key name in the rising alt rock scene, and &#8220;After All&#8221; stands as their most confident, crossover-ready release to date\u2014fitting perfectly alongside today&#8217;s alt revivalists and classic alternative staples alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"v1MsoNormal\"><b>&#8220;After All&#8221;&nbsp;<\/b>is out&nbsp;<b>August 5th<\/b>.&nbsp;<b>Dear Boy<\/b>&#8216;s sophomore album,&nbsp;<b><i>Celebrator<\/i>,<\/b>&nbsp;is slated for release this&nbsp;<b>October 17th<\/b>&nbsp;via&nbsp;<b>Last Gang Records.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading v1MsoNormal\" id=\"h-tracklist\">Tracklist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wanderlow<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kelly Green<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inevitable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now More Than Ever<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Balcony<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After All (Ft.
