DOMKcast with Lance Dowdle of From Ashes To New

From Ashes To New planning on releasing new music by the end of the
year? That's Lance Dowdle lead guitarist of the band says they're
shooting for-working on a concept and new songs as we speak. Lance
guarantees this next album will be the one that keeps them on the
rock landscape permanently. Enjoying success off of their latest
album "The Future", Lance says that it's been a wild ride so far.
The band has undergone a few lineup changes over the past few years
but has found the right combination of people joking around with
each other and not getting offended. They've created a comfort
level with each other that is crucial in any situation where you're
going to be in a confined space for an insane amount of time while
being on the road.

Lance touched on the success of their song "Crazy". He said that
song wasn't originally on the record. It was a late addition after
the album got handed back to the guys from the record label and
told "You need more". They went back into the studio and recorded
"Crazy" in 40 minutes. The rest is history. Such an ironic story in
terms of the writing process. When it feels right, it can take you
no time at all. Unfortunately, there are many times where it
doesn't happen like that and you have to drudge through the
drudgery.

Lance and From Ashes To New were at the Diamond Ballroom earlier
this week. He talked about their last experience there with a
scorpion onstage. A conversation about phobia's broke out. With the
amount of critters hanging around the Diamond Ballroom, Lance
suggested they should open a petting zoo.

New music is on the horizon and perhaps we'll get it by the end of
the year. Hear the full conversation with Lance Dowdle of From
Ashes To New on episode 94 of the DOMKcast. #DOMKRocks
