After the Fire (also known as ATF, Alcohol, Firearms, and Tobacco, and Damnit, That's Not Falco) are a British Christian rock band, best known for extolling the virtues of Our Lord Jesus Christ through a cover of Falco's "Der Kommissar," a song abuse about drug and running away from narcs.
The band was formed in the early 1970s as a prog-rock quartet and released one album in that decade before discovering in 1979 that Jesus wanted them to sell out and pretend to be new wavers.
This led to instant success, in the form of a hit single four years later with the aforementioned Falco cover. Critics lauded the band for their brilliant musicianship, pop sensibilities, and courage to wear the worst hairstyles ever seen on MTV.
Jesus rewarded them for their devotion to spreading His name by seeding dissension among their ranks, and cursing their drummers with testicular cancer, becoming a police officer, and spontaneously exploding on stage.
After converting the last heathen holdouts (America and Mexico) to Christianity on tour in 1985, ATF decided that their work was done and officially called it quits. Since then, there has been world peace and universal dedication to the glory of God.
