Asherel is a young band based out of Suwannee, Georgia who play a unique style of indie-garage rock that I have a feeling will take the country by storm, given the appropriate methods of distribution and advertisement. In just a few short years, Asherel has already gained a fairly significant fan base in the metro-Atlanta area and released a spectacular five song EP - It Won't Be Quiet Anymore
; Not bad for a band who has members still attending high school. I recently purchased this EP and can honestly say that it is one of the only things I have listened to for the past three days. To put it simply, singer/songwriter Trey Rosenkampff knows what he's doing. Lyrically, the EP is deep, questioning, and really makes the listener think. With subject matter discussing and questioning religion, you'd be hard pressed to simply listen to any of Asherel's songs and idly hear sounds, rather than truly experience their music.
The best way that I can describe Asherel's sound is that it is largely reminiscent of Manchester Orchestra mixed with Weezer's Pinkerton, if it was then kicked by an angry southerner. They have a certain sense of confidence in their sound that allows them to write haunting songs like "92 Years Old And Blind" as well as upbeat garage rock anthems such as "Losing Sleep" and "Now That You Know". Every song is well-written, perfectly orchestrated, and seamlessly performed so that It Won't Be Quiet Anymore is definitely one of the most enjoyable EPs that I have ever heard, and easily the best I have heard by an unsigned band.
Anyone reading this should immediately purchase Asherel's EP It Won't Be Quiet Anymore on itunes, or go see them playing numerous shows around the southeast and buy a hard copy from them. I promise you will not be let down, but check their music out yourself at

If there's one thing I'm certain of, it is that Asherel is a band that has the potential to make it in the modern music world; They really are the "next big thing".
