FROM ASHES TO NEW‘s blend of hard rock, hip-hop, electronic, and alternative music has built them a diverse and dedicated fanbase across the globe. Knotfest states: “There’s an exciting immediacy to their sound that recalls the music renaissance of the late ’90s and early 2000s… It’s that sweet spot of mass appeal where there’s a little something for everyone, be it FROM ASHES TO NEW‘s hip-hop side, their heavier metallic side, or their arena-sized choruses.”
2023 saw FROM ASHES TO NEW achieve their fifth-ever Top 10-charting rock radio single with “Hate Me Too” — one of “The Most-Played Songs On Rock Radio in 2023” via Loudwire —taken from their critically acclaimed #1-charting concept album “Blackout” released earlier that year via Better Noise Music. The group ended the monumental year with album track “Nightmare” peaking at No. 5 and the completion of a successful US headlining tour with THE WORD ALIVE, CATCH YOUR BREATH and Ekoh which concluded with two sold-out shows at their hometown venue, Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Earlier this month, FROM ASHES TO NEW dropped a powerful new track, “Barely Breathing”featuring Chrissy Costanza desde AGAINST THE CURRENT. Within three weeks, the song has received over three million streams and over half a million video views while seeing the band achieve two million monthly listeners on Spotify.
