Sussex born alternative rock quartet City Of Ashes reveal the details of their eagerly anticipated second studio album ‘Rise, released on the 25 March.

The bands debut album saw them play over 180 shows all over the country, including a tour with US giants Trapt. For fans of 30 Seconds To Mars and The Rasmus, ‘Rise’ tells a story like no other and incorporates beautiful vocal tones and melodic guitars to entice its listener from beginning to end.

After the success of their debut album and single release ‘Masks’, which calculated almost 40,000 views on YouTube, City Of Ashes are thrilled to finally speak about their new material; “This new record pushes story telling in so many new ways for us. The bright points of this record shine in a whole new light but the darks are so much more intense too.

Hi I'm Gareth, A foolish Welshman that has found himself living in Scotland. I adore live music and this all started back in University when a friend dragged me along to my first gig and I saw Travis. From then on I spent a lot of time going to see bands from rubbish uni bands that had formed one drunken night to the mighty Blur. When I finished uni there was a 10 year gap between gigs (long story). Now though, on any given day of the week I can be found in the venues of Glasgow. With regards to my music taste I love anything with great lyrics and heavy drums. When I was younger (and still am) I was obsessed with a band called Alisha's Attic.
When not at a gig I will be found at my computer playing games like Prison Architect, Hearthstone and Wolfenstein.
