Live For Yourself: Angry Tape Version
from Demo Archive Volume 4: Purple by The Afterthought
about
We sometimes kicked off gigs with this. It lulls the audience into a calm mood during the intro, then BANG! They lyrics are very much our mantra. The bones of the track are a set of riffs we used to play on the piano and a little Casio keyboard when we first started. Later I put them together to make this song. There is a great 4-track demo if it in our tape archive. This version is a bit more sorted out and sounds very much how it would live.

about
The Afterthought Norwich, UK
The Afterthought's use of signature keyboard, guitar and vocal sounds, combined with an intentionally understated
production, give them an identity occasionally reminiscent of the UK's eclectic post-punk new wave scene of the late 1970s.
The Afterhtought sound has been described as 'Alternative indie rock with a touch of fairytale'.
