The Aftermath return with some festive cheer this year with their version of the Frankie Goes to Hollywood Christmas classic ‘The Power of Love’.
‘The Power of Love’ features Matt McManamon from seminal Liverpool ska/ punk band The Dead 60s on backing vocals. It is a taster from their second album, due for release early 2012, which was recorded in The Transmission Rooms, the studio Johnny and Mick Cronin built in Drumlish, County Longford. The Aftermath worked on the album with Ger McDonald (U2, Travis ) and Karl Odlum (The Swell Season ).
Renowned for their live performances, The Aftermath have shared the stage with the likes of The Script, The Pigeon Detectives, Ian Brown, Keane, The Frames, The Streets, The Mission, and Razorlight. They count Kaiser Chief drummer Nick Hodgeson and Chris Moyles among their fans.
The Aftermath’s first album Friendlier Up Here was voted into the Hot Press Best 250 Irish albums of all time.
‘The Power of Love’ is available to download from today, Friday December 2.
