| Ashcrash's New EP
I'd say I was jumping on this week's bandwagon of Sput users plugging their own releases, but considering these songs have been in the works for nearly a year and were just finished a few days ago, it's really just a matter of coincidental timing. Anyway, this is my "serious" musical project, for lack of a better word. This EP as well as my last one are acoustic singer-songwriter stuff with wordy emo/indie lyrics. If that sounds up your alley, go for it. There's more info about the EP on the page, as well as some older junk on the bandcamp as well, if noisy, awfully-produced post-hardcore/math-rock/post-rock is more your thing. Rest of the list is influences from the writing period. | 1 | | The Heist Revenge Gusts
https://theheistrevenge.bandcamp.com/album/gusts | 2 | | Jimmy Eat World Static Prevails
Track 1 has tons of Jimmy shout-outs, especially from Static Prevails. | 3 | | The Dismemberment Plan Emergency & I
This is kinda required "get in the zone" listening when you write self-deprecating lyrics. | 4 | | Hop Along Painted Shut
Hop Along was also a huge influence on this material, both sonically and lyrically. | 5 | | Cymbals Eat Guitars LOSE
If you like these guys' way of making specific, personal events feel universal, that's kind of the vibe I go for. Not always nailing it, but I think I'm getting a bit better at filtering out some of the more ridiculous lines over time. | 6 | | Sufjan Stevens Illinois
"my fav user project so far tbh. The musicianship was top notch, Kinda reminded me to Sufjan Stevens." - 50iL
oh dude you're too kind, thank you
I can kinda see the Sufjan influence now that you've mentioned it too | |

Hopefully someone will get the album art issue fixed soon.
Anyway, I hope at least some of you guys enjoy this.
Though admittedly I'll be a bit disappointed if zak doesn't show up to call me a whiny sod or something | FullOfSounds
12.15.16 | Sick. I'll check it tomorrow | Conmaniac

12.15.16 | Nice, will jam! | ashcrash9
12.15.16 | thanks again for the kind words, guys
added that remark in the list cause that's some hefty praise I'm honored to get
if anyone else can tell me what this sounds like, I'm honestly not as familiar with a lot of singer-songwriter stuff as I should be, recs of that nature would be welcome | ashcrash9
12.16.16 | yay, the art's fixed! Thanks to whoever got to that, probably Jom |
