[1] The original group consisted of vocalist Maika Maile, drummer Chris Kamrada, guitarist James Flaherty and bassist Jay Enriquez.

In late 2015, Maika Maile and Chris Kamrada began collaborating on a new musical project called Afterhour (stylized as AFTRHR).

[7] In the same year, the band showcased short demos of "I Won't Die" and "Your Mistake" in the WP Records' website.

After that,[13] they met with James Paul Wisner (Underoath, and Paramore), who produced their 2007 Pages EP, which attracted the attention of the alternative rock label Hopeless Records.

[14] After signing onto Hopeless Records in 2008,[15] Wisner returned to produce the band's self-titled EP, which was released on August 5, 2008.

Just over three months later, the band won the MTVU Woodie Award for breakout artist of the year, beating established acts such as All Time Low and We the Kings.

[25] A documentary on the record was released along with the album, featuring 4 live studio sessions, choreographed and directed by Chris Grieder.

Maile stated in a 2011 Warped Tour interview that his favorite song off The Verge was "BLU", due to the fact that it is the band's first ballad and the piano as the lead instrument for the first time.

[28] The band joined the 2012 "Beyond the Blue" tour in Japan, along with acts like Mayday Parade, Every Avenue and singer William Beckett.

[30] On May 21, 2013, There for Tomorrow announced that they will be playing the Next Generation Fest in São Paulo, Brazil on July 27, alongside Young Guns, All Time Low, 3OH!3, Breathe Carolina, and Rocky Loves Emily.

[31] On July 19, the Next Generation Fest announced that it had to be delayed four months due to unexpected circumstances, making the festival scheduled around December 2013.

[36] One year after the breakup, Maile and Kamrada, who had been the primary performers on the Nightscape EP, began collaborating with Sebastian Metzgar, a freelance composer from the US they contracted, forming a duet band called A F T R H R. On Christmas Eve 2015, they released a new single, So Divine.

On April 10, 2019, AFTRHR released their EP 'Closing In' which had a total of 5 tracks including: Closing In, All Night, Drifting, Don't Give A, Blooms.

On November 29, 2019, There for Tomorrow reunited for a one-off reunion show at The Beacham in Orlando, Florida, to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of their album A Little Faster.
