Behold: The Afterdays album links in one place, lined up like proud children in a school photo, except these ones don’t need packed lunches and won’t grow up to resent you. Feel free to click any platform you like. Spotify or Apple or the one your cousin swears is “the future,” or whatever mysterious button you normally press when you want to feel something. We don’t judge. Much.

Anyway, enjoy Waiting for the Punch and everything that came before it over at John Your Mate. Pick a link. Make a choice. Live dangerously.


The Afterdays on Spotify

The Afterdays deliver their most ambitious work yet in Waiting for the Punch. This album is a cathartic journey through heartbreak, determination, and defiance. Every track pulses with anthemic energy, layered harmonies, and driving rhythms.

From the haunting song Valentine to the explosive title track, the band balances vulnerability and strength with maturity. Lyrics explore the fragile space between hope and reality, while the production weaves together shimmering guitar lines, atmospheric synths, and powerful percussion.

The Afterdays have crafted a work that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant, marking a bold new chapter in their evolution. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer, this record demands to be heard….. and felt.


Also on Apple Music (believe it or not)

Yes, Waiting for the Punch by The Afterdays is available right there on Apple Music too.

But look, we’re all busy, and you probably don’t need two versions of the same heartfelt, poetic, soul-searching blurb about how the band reinvented themselves on this record.

So do yourself a favour: just go read the Spotify blurb.

Anyway, the album slaps. Hit play.
