Behind The Sounds
Ashes Of Folly was formed in 2013 and is the brainchild of Perry Perry, a Boulder, Colorado native and prolific songwriter. Although living in several states and having formed several acts around the country, upon attending Middle Tennessee State University in the mid 90's Perry and has mostly been based in the Murfreesboro/Nashville area. Musical influences center in late 80's-early 90's underground rock. Hints of artists such as The Pixies, Janes Addiction, and R.E.M. All the way from Fugazi to Jeff Buckley, are prevalent in Ashes of Folly's songs. Production, dynamics, and Perry's unique arrangements and lyrical imagery coupled with sticky hooks, put a modern spin on vintage sounds.
Other notable influences; Dinosaur Jr., The Cure, Self, Beck, Sonic Youth, Codeine, Deftones, MBV...
