With inspiration ranging from bands like Dayseeker, Bring Me The Horizon, and Bad Omens, After Hour Animals is a rock/metalcore band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin that formed in 2020.
Since releasing their EP "Remember This" on 3/20/20, After Hour Animals has taken their music from the shores of Lake Michigan to the globe. Their 2020 single "All It Takes" has topped 1.1 million streams on Spotify alone, while their single "Dangerous" is over 800,000 Spotify streams since its December 2022 release.
Over the past two years since their last appearance on March Forth with Mike Bauman, After Hour Animals has undergone lineup changes, and been hard at work releasing new music for their fans.
