The Music: After beginning as a very 80's inspired band, with drum computer sequences and a melodic bass guitar, this project turned into an individual band, which is now described by the press as Dark Trip Wave. In the meantime the band has included a "real" drummer in their line-up and became famous for their obvious live qualities. The partly furious, partly sad guitars meet booming bass sounds, thunderous drums and psychedelic keyboards - Above all Ashley's voice, bursting with emotion. This is the best way to describe the sound of the 4 musicians. The lyrics: Originally inspired by authors like Philip K. Dick ( Blade Runner), Georg Orwell (1984) as well as Franz Kafka or Camus, Ashley found his identity also in lyrics. For him the main purpose of the lyrics is to create images in the head of the listener. The strongest inspiration is life itself; with all its good and bad sides. A certain sort of irony is always present. "Things that are taken too seriously, lose their credibility"; this is how Ashley once hit nail on the square. .....................
