If We Gave Up Now (2003)

by This Afternoon

supported by

fondellmyjunk I've often said that some of the worlds best music is the unknown artist that most people have never heard (or ever will). This Afternoon is one of the best, tightest, guitar rock driven melodic bands to ever come out of Syracuse (or anywhere IMO). They could have been a popular radio band if given the right promotion, or a big break for wider exposure. They remain one of the best kept secrets of the Syracuse NY music scene. This was their full length studio LP recorded in Hoboken NJ 2003. Favorite track: New Life Winners.
