Stoking The Fires With KEVIN ASHBY From CRY WOLF

Coming together via other notable bands such as Fire At Will,
Swerve City, Coridian, and the Sun Gods, New Zealand's freshest
face on the hard rock scene is Cry Wolf.
Fresh from the success of their debut single Rainfall, Cry Wolf
return with the follow-up Burn, upping the intensity and sonic
outburst to showcase another side of their musical psyche.
Essentially a track about embracing the unknown, Burn also acts as
a sonic accompaniment to the trajectory thus far from Cry Wolf, a
trajectory that the band hopes will continue to rise with each
release.
HEAVY caught up with singer/guitarist Kevin Ashby to find out
more.
"It's always exciting to release new music," he smiled. "Because
it's always a pretty long time between when you write the song and
when you actually release it, so it's always good to get it out in
the world and get people's opinion on it."
We ask Kevin to dive deeper into the musical side of Burn.
"We were going for something pretty heavy, but still accessible,"
he measured. "I tend to write songs that are relatively simple. We
don't want to make it too difficult for ourselves to play, so
trying to keep it simple, but keep it catchy as well (laughs). We
wanted it nice and heavy, but still retaining that melodic kind of
element. That's kind of what we went for."
In the full interview, Kevin contrasted Burn with their previous
single Rainfall, explaining that Burn symbolizes a fresh start
after their previous bands. We discussed the differences between
the two songs and if they were representative of Cry Wolf's overall
sound or if they were more an appetiser.
We talked about whether the two songs were part of a bigger picture
and when that might be, the thought processes that go into new
material as a young band and future plans. Kevin shared the band's
early vision of creating something fresh and bold in the music
scene and how they plan to make that happen and more.
