Bristol gothic punks Ashestoangels have released a video for ‘Dorian‘, the lead single from their forthcoming album ‘With Tape And Needles’.
“I’ve written literally hundreds of songs since the band started, some of them are pretty terrible!” said Ashestoangels’ singer/synth botherer Crilly.
“But I think you can trace a fairly clear evolution from our first song to where we are now. I’ve always had a sound in my head, it’s just taken this long to get it out….
“Like Johnny Cash we sound like this because we don’t know how to play any other way.”
The band teamed up with Aiden frontman William Control to create this latest offering. With his help, they re-wrote and recorded the album in just 14 days.
“He really knows his stuff when it comes to electronics and punk rock, the two things that make up a lot of our sound. It would have been a very different album if we had worked with anyone else.
“He told us that we were a great local band, but it was time to step our game up,” said Crilly, speaking about the experience.
“It was very intense and my ego took a death punch to the face but we came out a much better band.”
‘With Tape And Needles‘ will be released on Monday, August 26 via DustDevilSounds.
