"After the News" was a song by The Reels that was released as a single from their second album Quasimodo's Dream in July 1980. The song fared disappointingly on the charts, peaking at number 65 in Australia. The single was accompanied by a colourful video that features a puppet newsreader.[1] The B-side, "Media Themes", consisted of three short songs that were later re-used for the album. A "sequel" for "Media Themes" was released as a B-side to the band's later single "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)".[2]
Mason later said, "I got really pissed off about "After the News". People were just not accepting what we were doing. I got depressed about that."[3]
