FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –
The musical trio known as
ashThirtyThree have released their long-awaited debut LP record,
titled, “Walk the Streets of My Life.” The record is comprised of
13 original tracks for an approximate total listening time of 50
minutes, making for a roundly comprehensive introduction to the
ashThirtyThree repertoire and sound. A contemporary alternative rock
album founded largely on uncanny songwriting and undeniably solid
musicianship, “Walk the Streets of My Life” is a legitimate
return to the true alternative rock sound and excellent listening
from any musical perspective.
AshThirtyThree cite as main artistic
influences a broad roster of legends, a list which colors them as
finely tuned ears with impeccable musical taste and which explains
much of the familiar undertone that graces their signature rock
sound. They list (among a great many others): The Cardigans, John
Lennon, Robbie Williams, The Verve, Tori Amos, Robert Johnson, Pink
Floyd, Depeche Mode, Air, The Grateful Dead, CNSY, REM, Smashing
Pumpkins, U2, Pearl Jam, The Cure, The Guess Who, Social Distortion,
Bob Marley, and Led Zeppelin. This stew of inspiration results in a
sound that recalls the best of such alt-rock favorites as Soul
Asylum, the Wallflowers, and the Gin Blossoms, while remaining
entirely unique in both texture and timbre.
AshThirtyThree's debut record is
autobiographical and its title is intended to be taken literally.
“It’s straightforward truth,”
singer Ashley Levy says. “You don’t have to read between the
lines.”
Made complete by Jeff Nassi on drums
and Kenny Susan on bass and vocals, the rest of their band name comes
from numerology.
Their official bio states that, “In
Spiritual Numerology, 33 symbolizes the highest spiritual
consciousness attainable by the human being. Many pivotal events of
recent history have occurred along the 33rd parallel, as well as the
two significant UFO events – Roswell and the Phoenix Lights.
Lastly, Disneyland, the happiest place on earth, also lies along the
33rd parallel and hosts Club 33, an exclusive private club. Some say
the club got its name from the original 33 corporate sponsors of
Disneyland – we like to think they knew ashThirtyThree was about to
launch it’s debut album!”
Ashley Levy’s solo single, “Come
Into Love” won VH1's 2005 Rock Song of the Year.” He has opened
for such artists as Macy Gray, The Gin Blossoms, Etta James, Evan
Dando (Lemonheads), actor Dennis Quaid and Maria McKee. Levy reached
the wild card round on the hit NBC program, “Star Tomorrow,”
hosted by award-winning producer, David Foster, who said, “[Levy]
is the real thing. He is going to go far. Keep writing songs.”
Drummer Nassi and bassist Susan also
bring years of professional musicianship both live and in the studio.
They have recorded and performed with many well-known names and have
shared the stage with artists such as Chris Isaac, Hootie and the
Blowfish, Chicago, Peter Frampton, Leon Russell, Dave Meridith
Brooks, Room with A View, It’s a Beautiful Day, Randy Hanson, Magi,
Unauthorized Rolling Stones, Mason, Allen Holdsworth, Robert Earl
Keen, and others.
“Walk the Streets of My Life” was
engineered by Grammy-nominated producer Joel Jaffe (Big Bad Voodoo
Daddy, Kirk Franklin and the Family, Huey Lewis & the News, Gregg
Allman Band). Jaffe appears on the record playing guitar, pedal steel
guitar and lap steel guitar. Also appearing on the record are Kenny
Eamonn Flynn, original keyboardist and musical director from the band
and movie, “The Commitments,” and backing vocalist, Omega Rae.”
Fans of alt- rock and rock 'n' roll
everywhere have much reason to rejoice in this remarkable,
nigh-perfect record.
“Walk the Streets of My Life” by
ashThirtyThree is available online worldwide.
