I have an album coming out in a few days. I’m in a band. The album is titled: LAND OF FEAR AND SHAME http://ashleys.bandcamp.com/album/land-of-fear-and-shame   The band is currently 3 official members and a new friend named Derek. We used to be a solid band of 4, but my buddy Mike got some big dreams and decided to follow ‘em! Now it’s the 3, our new pal D, and a warm memory. My band is called: ASHLEYS http://www.facebook.com/weareashleys Those who have heard our EP or who have stopped by one of our live shows might be surprised by the album title. I always knew it was a bit different and a little dark. The intent is not to depress or scare. It’s an album of hope and learning. The Land Of Fear And Shame is a place that I believe exists in all of our minds. It’s a low place in our lives, induced by broken hearts, bad experiences and a feeling of hopelessness. When you can’t get a break and you feel like shit couldn’t get worse! It’s the bad lands, you could say. It’s a place of fear and shame. It turned this thought into a physical place. One that you so easily could get in the habit of never leaving. I thought a tropical island fit this idea well. It’s hard to shake off a low in your life and it feels like a rut you’ll never climb out of. This album is a trip on and off the Land Of Fear And Shame. It’s a lesson learned and a growing experience. It appears to be beautiful and comfortable because the water is warm, the sunrises are beautiful and the inhabitants are well-proportioned but it’s unhealthy to you. I always say that when you visit the Land Of Fear And Shame, the only way you can exit, is the same way you came. When I listen, it’s a personal journey and it means something to me. I’ve washed up on the shores before and sipped the coconut-flavoured rum. I’ve watched the sleepy sunsets turn shadows into monsters. I’ve made my way home and never looked back. * We’ve been a band for a few years and this is our first album. We’re all really excited. Releasing an album is fun. This album is a follow-up to our 2010 EP release titled: BEARS http://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/bears/id399317717 * LAND OF FEAR AND SHAME (January 8th) Available digitally on iTunes + Bandcamp. Available physically at Backstreet Records (Saint John, NB) + Compact Music (Ottawa, ON). Physical copies can be ordered on Bandcamp as well. Thanks.
