Boston’s ASHERS are a rare band. Ashers, fronted by Mark Civitarese of THE UNSEEN (Hellcat Records) on vocals, is Boston’s new diamond in the rough. Mark’s versatility of working in The Unseen, as well as experience lending his vocals to tracks on albums by bands such as A GLOBAL THREAT, BLOOD FOR BLOOD and DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR, has made his voice one of the most distinct in the punk and hardcore worlds today.

Ashers became a band as a result of the chemistry discovered between Mark and Billy Brown of CRASH AND BURN (Thorp Recs) and DEADLY SINS, two bands that became synonymous with the creativity of the Boston scene. Mark and Bill constantly found themselves contributing to each other’s projects and finally decided to begin a proper full time band together. Ashers scorches listeners with a vortex of blistering hardcore, dirty rock, anthemic punk, and barroom metal that creates a new flavor altogether for fans of aggressive music. Now joining with Thorp Records, the band has just begun their onward march towards introducing the world to a new sense of aggression. Expect the debut Thorp Records release from ASHERS in stores early summer 2010.
