After the Fall are an Australian rock band from the Central Coast of New South Wales, formed in 2000. The band consists of vocalist Benjamin Windsor, drummer Andrew Atkins, bassist Matthew Gore and guitarist Mark Edward Warner.

Forming in 2000 on the Central Coast of New South Wales, After the Fall drew influences from Australian icons like Midnight Oil and AC/DC.

Their debut extended play (EP) As Far As Thoughts Can Reach was released in 2003, with the song "Three Quarter Binding" receiving airplay on Triple J. They established a following through tours with the likes of AFI, Dashboard Confessional and 28 Days.

Their debut studio album, After the Fall, was recorded in 2003, mainly in the band's own rehearsal space. It was produced by Richard Stolz, who had worked with the likes of Bodyjar and 28 Days. The single "Mirror Mirror" was high up in the Triple J Net 50 for a period of time following good airplay.

Their second album, Always Forever Now, was recorded in March 2005 with Stolz again. Vocalist Ben Windsor said the band were not fully prepared when commencing studio work for the album; "We entered the studio without a complete scope of where the record was going. I had lyrics to finish and we really weren’t a 100% on what tracks we were going to lay down... We need to be pushed, and that’s what happened." The album peaked at number 23 on the ARIA Charts, boosted by the single "Concrete Boots".

After the Fall have released four videos from their two albums: "Mirror Mirror" from their 2004 effort, After the Fall, and "Concrete Boots", "The Fighter", and "Outta Mind" from Always Forever Now. "The Fighter" appeared in several Australian television advertisements, including one for popular primetime show Smallville.
