California shoegazers [**Dear Boy**](https://new.glamglare.com/artist/dear-boy?ref=glamglare.com) team up with fellow Cali band Rocket to create the stunning “After All,” a track as mesmerizing as it is anthemic. Think ’90s Britpop swagger meets the raw energy of modern rock — nostalgic yet firmly in the now. For lead vocalist Ben Grey, it’s also a long-overdue moment:

> “It is crazy to have been a band for this long without contributing a primal-teenage-bedroom-rock riff. Happy to finally right a wrong.”

The collaboration with **Rocket** adds layered vocal chemistry that pushes the song into dream-soaked territory, born from a friendship that runs deeper than music. Ben shares:

> “We first played with Rocket on New Year’s Eve a few years ago and became fast friends. We’re both from the Valley, went to the same pre-school, a tale as old as time. But truly, they’re an important band, and I think Alithea has one of the defining rock voices of this generation. We feel so honored she sang on '*After All*.' It’s the Catherine Wheel/Throwing Muses moment we’ve always dreamed of.”
