Having been raised on a hearty intake of indie, classic and experimental rock, along with the fact that members are classically trained and met amidst college music classes, are just a few points of distinction for After Edmund in the modern pop/rock pack. The LaGrange, Georgia groomed quintet (named after the Edmund character in C.S. Lewis' bestselling book series The Chronicles of Narnia) has been electrifying that regional scene and beyond since 2001, touring tirelessly and refining a potent alternative sound.

"We grew up listening to all kinds of music—classical and classic rock to jazz and experimental stuff. We're kind of a melting pot, a unique fingerprint for Christian music, combining so many of our individual musical influences into one sound," notes bassist Matt McFadden, while making it apparent members' Christian beliefs are a clear lyrical component. "Our musical backgrounds are so diverse, and it's interesting to see how we pull it all together; but more than just sounding strong, we hope and pray our varied backgrounds will open us up to a larger audience--one not subject to the same three chords over and over."
