Be like Jason above 🤣
Unfortunately, due to circumstances out of our con Unfortunately, due to circumstances out of our control, we have parted ways with Joe O'Sullivan.

As most of you will know, Joe is a very private person and so we ask that you respect his space.

We would like to thank Joe for his time with the band and for the wonderful memories we shared together in the past 6 years.  His guitar playing and riff writing was remarkable, and his legacy will remain for years to come.  We care about him very much and wish him all the very best on his journey, musical and otherwise.

On a more positive note, we have some exciting stuff in the pipeline and hopefully we'll be able to share it with you all very soon! 

Much love as always 💜

🌟 Thank You SavFest 🌟 Last night was an abs 🌟 Thank You SavFest 🌟

Last night was an absolute blast.  Thanks so much to everyone who stuck around late to catch us headlining.  Thanks so much to Alan and Wendy as always for the efforts they continue to put in for such an amazing cause, and for having us on.  That was one of the highlights of our entire year. 🙏

Special thanks to @guitarbyrne for standing in and completely smashing the set, it was truly a pleasure to share the stage with you 💜

As it currently stands, that was our last show of the year, and what a way to end it.  We're gonna use the rest of this year to regroup, refocus and stoke the flames to get the fire burning brighter than ever 🔥

Much love to you all

❌️ SWANSEA AND NOTTINGHAM ❌️ Hey everyone ❌️ SWANSEA AND NOTTINGHAM ❌️

Hey everyone!  Unfortunately, since our tour with Fahran could not go ahead as planned, after much deliberation between ourselves, we make the difficult decision to pull the remaining two co-headline dates, (the Hangar 18 Swansea, and The Old Salutation Inn Nottingham). We had been planning this tour with Fahran for a long time, and the rug being pulled at the last second with the departure of one of the lads, left us in a tough spot.  Nobody expects this sort of thing and seldom is anyone prepared for it.  At first we spent time trying to find other bands to perform in their stead, and while we had a few responses from different people, (which is obviously massively appreciated), ultimately, we didn't feel right doing the tour without our friends.  Refunds will be issued ASAP, and the venues and promoters are all aware of the situation.

As some of you will know, we've had a crappy run of luck recently with pretty much everything band-related.  In light of this, we are going to take some time to regroup for the festivals we have this summer, get into some writing, and decide what the best course of action is for the rest of this year and looking to next year.  Thank you all very much for understanding and we love you all.  Have a great long weekend and we'll see you all very soon 🙏💜

Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen! 

A lot of you guys will have seen that unfortunately Fahran had to pull out of the co-headline dates with us. We are absolutely gutted about this and so are they! 😔

However, we are doing everything we can to make sure the other shows still go ahead!

The guys at The Rock Cooperative  have been working hard to find a replacement, and we are more than pleased to say that Kiti Black have stepped in at the very last minute to open for us, with Black Lakes moving up the bill to main support!

Please show your support for their generosity in stepping in at such short notice, by buying a ticket if you haven't already bought one, and we will see you there! 😁

Leo's Red lion Gravesend has always been so great to us and we are so excited to be coming back!

Who will we be catching there? 👀🤘💜🔥

Although we were a man down, we thoroughly enjoyed Although we were a man down, we thoroughly enjoyed Springfestuk!!

Thanks so much to Kevin for having us on and accommodating us at the show. It was all perfect!

A huge thanks to everyone who embraced us as the three piece and sang along to help Paddy remember the words too, and we hope we still put on a performance you could all still enjoy with us!🤘🔥

Although we've had to cancel our performance that was supposed to be this weekend at Bradstock, due to Paddy and myself also getting ill (unfortunately I don't think our Joe could pull off a set all by himself 🤣) we can't wait to be back at it full force next Friday, at @trilliansrocks with our lovely friends in @fahranofficial to start our co-headline dates! 🤘💜

This song is one that means a lot to us. Kyle wrot This song is one that means a lot to us. Kyle wrote the lyrics to this when he had a mental breakdown and was begging for help. We decided to release it to help people who don't know how to open up, show their loved ones how they really feel.
Look after your loved ones 💜💜💜

📢REAL TALK📢 Even though we have almost 9k f 📢REAL TALK📢

Even though we have almost 9k followers (which is AMAZING, and we can't thank you enough) Facebook is not sending our posts out  to all our followers.

What do you guys like/want to see from us?
(We know yall want new music, we are working on this currently, literally right now lol 🤣)

But do you want to get to know us personally, do you want to see some snippets of guitar playthroughs, funny stuff, etc?

Algorithms now have made it nearly impossible for independent bands to get reach due to the high demand for original and new content (tiktok wants at least 3 posts a day) and the algorithm changes so often anyway, it's hard to keep up with, especially when we all have other jobs around the band. 

You can bulk plan posts, but actually trying to come up with that much engaging content that's new and different, is so difficult, and it can be really daunting, when we just want to do what we love and enjoy, not chase trends, but focusing hard on social media can sometimes take the shine off the creativity.

We aren't very cool, or trendy, we are just 4 people who love making sick tunes, have shows that go off to death, are into video games, kinda lactose intolerant, and some of us are even being tested to confirm where on the spectrum we are. 🤣

We absolutely love being in Ashen Reach and we want others to enjoy our journey with us.💜💜

Soz for the essay, we just wanted to be real with you guys and also let you know we are still here and active, and we can't wait to do these upcoming shows (Festivals and Co-headline tour with Fahran )
If you are joining us for any of the shows, let us know, and we can't wait to see you all again 💜

Much love,

Jess, Kyle, Paddy and Joe 😘🤘
