Released in all physical and digital formats, this conceptual work proposes a narrative arc exploring the cycles of existential creation and destruction. After Destruction portrays psychic discomfort in a compulsively hyper-communicative but emotionally isolated society, with a retro-futuristic aesthetic, destructive guitars, synthesizers and soulful melodies. ​Lampooning contemporary emotional consumerism, the band integrates an automaton character into their lineup: The DAK, an innovative machine designed to repair emotional damage, which appears through interludes both on the album and in the live act. Looking to restore your life after a catastrophe? Turning your pain into a work of art has never been easier. 

In 2024 the band started releasing a video collection of the full album in their youtube channel, directed by Persia Campbell, and started playing shows in support of this album with two tours in Europe, one in the United States and one in Mexico, playing in festivals such as Pohoda (Slovakia), InMusic (Croatia) Aftershock (United States), Pitchfork Music Festival (Mexico), Fusion (Germany), Louder than Life (United States). In early 2025 the band will release a KEXP Live Session, and will continue touring in South America, Mexico, Europe, USA and Canada.

This 6-piece band (formerly known as "Night Moves/Creedence Classic Revival") gives a high-energy live performance of two amazing tribute bands in one. We take audiences on a ride through the rock and roll classics of Seger and CCR that drives crowds of all ages to the dance floor.

CCsegeR brings a signature richness and power to the music that Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band have been making for over four decades. The Seger signature sound represents the honest and best of what rock and roll can be. One of Michigan’s finest, Seger soaked up the muscular rock and roll and seductive soul for which Detroit remains famous and defines a musical voice for the American heartland. CCsegeR brings it all to the stage in an explosive live show that reminds us that rock-n-roll never forgets.

There isn’t any music more classic or Americana than that of San Francisco’s own Creedence Clearwater Revival. Cranking out hit after hit, their southern rock style sensibility made them possibly the most popular band in America with chart topping success and CCR’s music is still a staple of US radio today. CCsegeR captures the sound and recreates what the music was all about leaving you dancing and singing along to every song.
