The members of local rock band Desert Ashes expect their careers to really take off following a rave write-up in music blog soundandfury.wordpress.com, the musicians said Thursday. I dont think you can ask for a more positive review than that; I mean, this is just the kind of positive exposure weve been craving, said Desert Ashes guitarist Shane Flaherty of the WordPress-hosted websites laudatory 200-word review of his groups debut EP Cosmic Glow, which describes the group as a wiry post-punk ensemble with manic guitar lines awash in atmospheric reverb and tart lyrics that also betray a certain world-weary melancholy. I think well look back on this as sort of like the demarcation point where we went from being a struggling new group to being something much, much bigger. Its an amazing feeling, and we have the soundandfury guys to thank for that. At press time, Flaherty was refreshing his internet browser to see if anyone had posted a comment.
