Latest Album: Echo Rituals (Coming Summer 2025)
Formed in the backstreets of Portland, Oregon, Ashes & Anthems blends gritty alternative rock with introspective lyricism and explosive live energy. Led by frontman Mason Reed, the band channels the raw emotion of early 2000s post-grunge while infusing their sound with modern indie-rock sensibilities.
Their debut EP, “Monochrome Fever”, earned underground acclaim for its punchy guitar work, haunting melodies, and relatable themes of disillusionment, late-night drives, and starting over. With members hailing from diverse musical backgrounds—from punk to folk—Ashes & Anthems crafts a sound that’s both nostalgic and unmistakably their own.
Known for their visceral live performances and DIY ethos, the band is quickly becoming a staple in the Pacific Northwest alt-rock scene. Their upcoming full-length album, “Echo Rituals”, promises a darker, more mature sound layered with cinematic textures and lyrical vulnerability.
