Spring Break
ASHES dIVIDE offers emotionally invigorating debut album
Band delivers insight into life and love

Issue date: 4/15/08 Section: Features
The surreal atmosphere that is created through the various tones and textures on the album make it brutally heart wrenching, yet beautifully human.
Keep Telling Myself it's Alright is an anything but modest look into another person that can either seem awkwardly entertaining to the listener or admittedly obscure.
The album is sort of like having that obscenely outspoken friend who has to tell you all his poetic love stories. Even though it might seem intriguing it can get a little weird at times if allowed to go unchecked. Even though Billy Howerdel's vocals lack the nail in the coffin effect that ASHES dIVIDE's music demands, the album is still beyond simply "good."
ASHES dIVIDE will be featured this year on the main stage of the Project Revolution tour headlined by Linkin Park, showcasing Chris Cornell, the Bravery and 10 Years. Project Revolution will be making a stop in Raleigh on April 13.
