After The Ashes a modern (hard) rock band out of Flint, Michigan. can best
be described as a hard drivin in your face modern rock band with a
discernable and unique sound that begs you to Crank it up! Yes, they kicked
ass and made a bitchin CD that gives you everything - rock n roll, great
riffs, excellent melodies, witty lyrics with messages that relate to life.
Solid rocking songs with raw hard edge guitars, and thunderous drums. The
vocal style of singers Jamie Lane and Bryan Kelly blend together masterfully
and really bring these great songs to life. After The Ashes released their
12 song debut album in February, 2006.
In early 2005 in the ashes of
many other bands they had each seen crash and burn, guitarist Rick Jackson,
guitarist/vocalist Jamie Lane, Bassist/vocalist Bryan Kelly and drummer Del
Hall came together for the first time in a collective soup of talent. Almost
as soon as they struck their first chords together they felt a chemical
reaction that none of them had ever experienced before. Right away they knew
it was something extraordinary. The musicianship was tight and the music
seemed to just flow out as if they had been born to play together. The vocal
styles of Bryan Kelly and Jamie Lane meld together like the two voices where
designed to harmonize with each other. Toss in some fills by drummer Del
Hall and some screamin guitar leads by Rick Jackson and the recipe creates
magic that your ears can appreciate. Now appropriately named "After the
Ashes", the band is made up of remnants of such phenomenal bands as Six Foot
Soul, DUST, Dunahmus and Far From Over and is the product of years of live
experience and touring. With over 14 studio albums between them, they have
had occasion to share the stage with some of the biggest names in music
including: Skid Row, Vince Neil, Anthrax, Def Leppard, Sebastian Bach, Dark
New Day, Jackyl, Stuck Mojo, Slaughter, Ted Nugent, Warrant, Bret Michaels,
Quiet Riot and many more. Their energetic live performances has created a
rabid following of fans with simple word of mouth alone. After the Ashes
looks forward to the release of their debut c.d. this winter and plans are
in the making for a spring/summer tour of the United States. The evolution
has begun...
Jamie Lane and Rick Jackson both use a MILLS Afterburner 412B through Line 6
