THE CHURCH TO RELEASE AFTER EVERYTHING
APRIL 24 ON THE TELEGRAPH COMPANY

First Recording of New, Original Material in 3 Years to Coincide with SXSW Appearance and Be
Followed by Summer Tour

The Church will make their debut on The Telegraph Company with After Everything on April 24,
their first U.S. release of new, original material in three years. They will preview songs from the
new recording with an appearance at SXSW in March, followed by a series of club shows and
record-release parties in key markets. A North American tour being planned for summer will be
their first since 1999.

"When we heard After Everything we knew it was The Church's strongest material in years," said
Jerod Gunsberg of The Telegraph Company. "Church fans are loyal ones, and have been with
them throughout the years. This record more than proves that this kind of loyalty is well
deserved. With our efforts to really call attention to the band in the States, we're confident that
this album will open up an entirely new audience for them as well."

Original members Steve Kilbey, Marty Willson-Piper and Peter Koppes, plus drummer Tim Powles,
who joined in 1994, say they chose the title After Everything because after a period of musical
experimentation, they have found that their strength lies in simply being themselves.
Contemporary-sounding, yet retaining The Church's trademark atmospheric sonicscapes on such
favorite albums as Heyday, Starfish and the critically-acclaimed Priest = Aura, After Everything
marks a refreshing, welcome addition to today's musical climate.

The Church's guitar-driven, dreamy pop music with lyrics of grace, beauty, power and melancholy
has drawn comparisons to a diverse array of artists over the years including Pink Floyd, Neil
Young, David Bowie and R.E.M. Critics and fans alike view them as an important link in the chain
that goes from Bowie to U2 to Radiohead. On After Everything, The Church carries on that
tradition in "Numbers" and "Reprieve," which recall such earlier works as "You Took" and "When
You Were Mine." On "Chromium Plated," The Church modernizes the ringing feedback and
shimmering guitars of their early hits "The Unguarded Moment" and "Metropolis," while fans of
Starfish will find plenty to like in the title track. Among the other stand-out tracks on After
Everything are "Radiance," "The Cross" and "Invisible."

Formed in Australia in 1980, The Church released their debut album in both Australia and the U.S.
the following year. The album launched their career with the hit, "The Unguarded Moment." The
success of their next two albums, The Blurred Crusade and Seance, plus two hit EPs led to their
second U.S. release, Remote Luxury in 1984, followed by Heyday in 1986. Two years later, they
hit the Top 40 with "Under the Milky Way" and the album, Starfish, went gold. 1990's Gold
Afternoon Fix, which contained "Metropolis," was followed by a world tour and in 1992, they
released what some call their finest work, Priest = Aura. The Church continued to record
throughout the '90s, releasing Sometime Anywhere, Magician Among The Spirits, Hologram of
Baal and a collection of cover versions, Box of Birds They returned to touring in 1998.|
