Ashes To Ashes - Big Moving Parts

Since 1993, Ashes to Ashes has been playing the local and regional club circuit surrounding Pittsburgh, PA opening for the likes of Slaughter, Union, Motley Crue, Scorpions, Def Leppard, and others.  And when headlining their own club gigs in front of a large following of loyal fans, the band is known for delivering a few sets packed with a few cover tunes as well as "classic" Ashes to Ashes songs like the ever popular "Eat Me, I'm A Hoagie."

The three-piece ensemble has always produced a unique pop sound with a hard edge drawling from diverse influences that include the Cars, Cheap Trick, and KISS.  The band features frontman Andrew C. Bell (vocals/guitar), Ed Beeler (bass), and Dave Campbell (drums), who are known for their energy and great sense of humor.  Their latest release Big Moving Parts is the fifth and perhaps final full-length album that the band will release on their independent label ATA-BOY! Records, pending a possible major label deal with RCA Records. 

The catchy melodies from Big Moving Parts take the band in a more melodic direction than their past releases, enhancing the mysterious vocal sound of Bell with soothing harmonies, while keeping enough of an edge to grab your attention.

Highlights include “Maybe You Kill,” the modern sounding “Underground,” and “Become,” which offers sinister yet melodic vocals, and a great ballad called "Bury Me."  But as most fans have come to learn, this band is most appreciated live,
