Artist History Aftertaste, who began splitting atoms in the summer of 1996, got their start like all of the sweetest affairs: drummer Erick Banks (25), guitarist Mike Petersen (25), and bass playing lead vocalist K.C. Eggo (25) started their foray into music as best friends. The explosive threesome were originally college roommates who decided to kill both time and boredom by buying instruments and teaching themselves how to play. So intent on making music their cure-all, the trio wrote their first two songs the first day they played together.

Press Reviews "To watch Aftertaste perform is an experience before the music even starts...[they] have a chemistry on and off stage like a band that has been together for years." - Robert Hadden, The Western Star "Three young musicians are shaking things up...with the live wire punkish band called Aftertaste...with its energetic pop-edged punk, the trio has snagged a fair following." - Andre Hagestedt, Statesman Journal "Their blend of college rock and indie music has taken them to new heights...bringing out great crowds wherever they play. Be sure to catch [a] show – the band is worth it." - Statesman Journal
