They have fast gained appraisal and popularity around the DFW metroplex for the love they have for their fans and their original live show including the performance of some songs which involve all 4 members performing vocal and instrumental arrangements simultaneously. These soulful musical compositions allow them to stand out in a scene that has become generic and emotionless. Ashlynn’s EP “After The Clouds, The Sun” is a landmark for the band as their first release.

Despite the current independent status of the band, “After The Clouds, The Sun” is surprisingly professional and focused considering their individual ages as well as length of time they have played together (Ashlynn was formed in Oct. ’09). “After The Clouds, The Sun” is a concept EP that links the stages of a day (Dawn, Daybreak, Sunfire, Eventide, Midnight) to certain stages of life that everyone goes through. Dawn speaks of first realizing one’s potential as an individual and not wasting it away with phrases of defiance such as, “They said it wasn’t for me, that I could not take it.

Their words they set me ablaze, like martyrs at the stake, we burn.” The album journeys from Dawn, to tracks Daybreak, Sunfire, and Eventide, which progressively speak of losing hope in humanity and the confusion that takes place when learning about the atrocities humans commit. Finally, the EP finishes with the intimate track Midnight closing the EP with lyrics of hope and acceptance: “I was lost, now found. I run to the sound of life pulsing in my veins. I will not let the presence of rage and atrocity hold my breath.

I will be change, I will be a heart lit on fire, you will see I will be what I wish to see in this life. I will be love.” Ashlynn is a band with an immense amount of potential and will undoubtedly soar to great heights as they quickly grow with themselves and their fans.
