After Sullivan broke up in 2008 there was a lot of people asking "what now" in the music industry. Bowing out at the height of their beloved careers, the boys of Sullivan seem to have disappeared. Well children, they are back. Brooks, Tyson, and Jeremy with Josh Stanton from hardcore legends This Runs Through make up The Afterlife Kids, and needless to say, its enormous. Classifying this band would be a mistake. In its conception it is, in your face, wall of sound, rock and roll, but with close examination it may be the most contagious thing you've ever heard. With their Self Titled EP, The Afterlife Kids have created a 5 songer that plays more like an album. You will be repeating these tracks for a very long time. We aren't sure if the world is ready for this......

== Scream by The Afterlife Kids ==

Scream scream scream, it's late
They will never hear the sound it makes
We are all mistakes
Underneath in which our parents made

Everybody knows,
Where the seasons come from
Everybody tries, but never gets it right

Scream scream scream, it's late
They will never hear
The sound it makes

We are all mistakes
Underneath in which our parents made
Everybody knows,
Where the season comes from
Everybody tries, but never get's it right

My fingers fall to pieces
Wrapped around your neck
Your arms they scream surrender
How could I forget

Everybody knows
Where the seasons come from
Everybody tries
But never get's it right

My fingers fall to pieces
Wrapped around your neck
Your eyes they scream surrender
How could I forget?
How could I forget

Scream scream scream
It's late
They will never hear
The sound it makes
