it's kinda late for me to know a good band like this. this is really really goodshit!

Good music lasts and good bands evolve. After seven years and over two hundred shows, Ad Astra Per Aspera is more than music: it's an all-ages, open-invitation collective dedicated to all things small, epic, lakeside and beautiful. It's a collection of inside jokes, broken down vans, mix tapes, prank calls, histories and pre-histories that snowballs through all seasons.

Ad Astra Per Aspera - 2008 Party Bones EP

Band : Ad Astra Per Aspera

Album : Party Bones EP
Release Year : 2008

Genre : Experimental | Progressive | Indie | Sreamo

Tracklist :

 01. Party Bones Pt. 1        
02. Party Bones Pt. 2

“Party Bones Pt. 1,” which I guess is a testament to how good Ad Astra are in that they can put out a record that works. Ok, so Ad Astra work best at pulling off the slow burn tropical-laced punky noise rock with great precision. Sadly, this 7” was released right before a few of the members moved to New York and the band went on indefinite hiatus, now only playing around Christmastime when everyone's in town. However, from those pseudo-ashes rose Ad Astra Arkestra, which is basically Mike Tuley's re-tooling of the band's songs into absolute chaos...and if they're often a tipping point for going to a show if they're on the bill because, you know, it's just a fucking blast. Their live show, like this record, is just plain ol' good fun. And while this 7” isn't as awesome as the “Dangerbird Blues” 7”, it's still way good.

Ad Astra Per Aspera - 2008 Danger Bird Blues EP

Band : Ad Astra Per Aspera

Album : Danger Bird Blues EP
Release Year : 2008

Genre : Experimental | Progressive | Indie | Sreamo

Tracklist :

01. Danger Bird Blues

02. RRRip-It-Up

Anyone who has heard Ad Astra Per Aspera recognizes the sound immediately: a frantic demonstration of noise and melody clashing wholeheartedly. Points of reference include Sonic Youth and Blonde Redhead, but Ad Astra's best attribute is its ability to sound more and more like itself. The current chapter finds the band releasing new songs on a 7" (which comes with CD version, too) as the debut recording on the new Lawrence label, Love Garden Records. Enjoy!!!
