A fearsome mix of contemporary metalcore crunch and soul-searching rap, the band are already punching with a heavyweight strength that belies their so far brief career. We vent a lot of emotion, a lot of frustrations, a lot of angst through our songs, but we always want them to have a craft to them - something which shines through.”Īnd if recent four-track EP Downfall was a glistening opening gambit, then the forthcoming full-length album will radiate with the fire of a thousand suns. “Our ambition is to throw as much as we can into them and give the listener the most connecting experience possible. “We always wanted our songs to sound huge,” admits co-vocalist and melodic linchpin Chris Musser. I was like a sponge - I wanted to learn every technique, every skill so that I had what I needed to out the ideas that I had in my head on paper and eventually turn them into records.” “I decided I was going to put everything I had inside of me into doing music, it became everything to me. “It was until my late teens that my interest in hard rock music properly developed,” explains the frontman “slowly but surely I got into things like Sevendust and it all snowballed from there.”īefore long, Brandyberry was obsessively playing guitar and piano and, most importantly, penning his own music to go with the raps he had been developing since junior high. As a young kid obsessed by world-changing flows of Tupac and Biggie as well as the local Philadelphia Hip Hop scene that surrounded him, writing rhymes became a natural pastime. FROM ASHES TO NEW are one such flare a thoroughly modern rock band wielding both a state-of-the-art sound and an old-as-the-hills work ethic.įor Brandyberry in particular, FATN represents a creative endeavor a long time in the making. As is so often the case though, it is in these relative backwards towns that authentic, compelling creativity truly thrives - the monotony of the landscape punctuated by brilliant flares of art. Lancaster, Pennsylvania is the sort of town of which there are many hundred all across America: post-industrial, blue collar and, on occasion, more than a little bleak. With high energy and multiple part vocal harmonies, they draw in listeners and keep them entertained.Ĭheck out Forever At Last latest single & video Mr. The rest of the guys (Ezekiel Vasquez, Jordan Vickers, and Jared Paris) have polished a writing style that has the punch of Rock 'n Roll and the kick of Punk Rock. They aren't your average female fronted band though, with Brittany Paris displaying attitude and grit in her lyrics and voice.
Even though slightly moving away from a heavier style, ForeverAtLast still is a band that packs a serious punch.
ForeverAtLast grew up in the underground hardcore/metal scene of Indianapolis, IN where they learned the DIY work ethic and the effort it takes to have a successful band. With honest lyrics and melodies that are stuck in your head for days, they tend to write music that holds influence from the 90’s punk/emo scene but is still fun and relevant to today’s rock fans. In a world where female fronted bands sound very similar, ForeverAtLast offers a unique sound to a familiar audience. Jordan also talks about the band’s new album set for release sometime this year. Jordan Vickers the guitarist from the band joined me on Revelator to discuss the bands end of The Ghost Story Tour and will be gearing up again for another tour this August.
