THE STORY SO FAR: With more member changes than Lindsay Lohan's days in rehab, After The Tragedy settled on their current lineup in August 2006. On the road for the better part of this year, ATT are not only promoting their melodic, growling rock, but the environment as well. "We just bought a new bus that runs off of used vegetable oil," says bassist/vocalist Aaron Newton. "It's better for the environment and it's free. You can't beat that."

WHY YOU SHOULD KNOW 'EM: They've won a high-profile battle of the bands-sort of. In 2005, the band entered a contest to get a song on the soundtrack to Xbox 360's Amped 3. Pitted against AP cover stars and bands such as mewithoutYou and Anberlin, fan voting crowned ATT the champ. "The winner got a chance to play the Mountain Dew showcase at South By Southwest in '06," says Newton. "We got to open for Matchbook Romance, Jack's Mannequin and Thursday. It was one crazy day." -Rachel Lux YOU LIKE? YOU'LL LIKE: As Cities Burn, the Receiving End Of Sirens, Armor For Sleep
