this is Life After Bed's first studio record and our only full length. it was recorded at the soundmill in ft. wayne indiana sometime in february of 2001. i was the oldest member and none of was were old enough to drink...legally. we never gave it a proper release because we didn't have the money to press it on what we used to call a "Compact Disc".
joey dreamdate and i were really into the late 90's punk, the descendents, mxpx, nofx, etc. this was also the birth of what we called emo back then...so that's why there are some...well emo tracks on here. blame joe. he's the one that would encourage me when i would play him songs like distract me and jealousy is useless. every once in a while an old friend or fan asks me to get them a copy so i figured having a website where you can download all of the Life After Bed tracks would be easier. and we were known for being the world's laziest band.

this is life after bed's bedtime e.p. recorded on mother's day and the day after at the lodge in indianapolis. mr. tyler watkins was nice enough to record this for us without a budget. i wanted to jam as many styles of punk on one little e.p. as possible. that's why it goes from the hardcore sounds of billy bullshit right into the acoustic and painfully emo distract me. i wish i could go back and double track the guitars...or guitar because it sounds thin on the songs that we didn't have time to double track. we recorded this to DAT tapes and that was really hard. it wasted a lot of time. thanks watkins. anyway this is a moment in time for Life After Bed. i decided to put up this site for the 10th year anniversery of this e.p.

LIFE AFTER BED was a punk rock band from anderson indiana. the members were tyler soverns, paul hagan, joseph baker and matt hagan. rik henry was a founding member but he got drunk on hot damn with my brother before our first show and busted his chin open on the concrete and passed out during our first song. we left him in the back seat of his car in the 29th street cafe parking lot....sorry rik. anyway we were a band. we played countless shows all over the midwest from 2000 to 2005. we used to play with monkey kill human and ...down with his ship all of the time. that was always a good show. along the way there were mild wins like being on the radio that one time and being voted 2nd best band in anderson in the herald bulletin when we didn't even know there was a contest. most of all it was just fun to play shows and play music with friends. shouts to people like karli, josh young, amy hockema, matt anderson, brand smith , tyler watkins and a million others that helped us out just to be nice. i think some of this stuff stands up over time. i'm hoping you guys will download these songs and remember the simpler times....before we had social networking and cell phones but we still had punk rock, pizza and beer.
