On March 14th 2008, Ashes of Iron first took the stage to a packed out venue in Sunderland. An astounding first show for the band made them come to realise that they weren’t your everyday band. Opening for the likes of Brant Bjork and the Bros,Viking Skull, Firebird and Gentelmans Pistols are highlights of what Ashes of Iron have achieved so far to date, whilst being personally asked by Therapy? To open for them at a sold out show at Newcastle’s O2 Academy shows that there is something about this band. Dave Ling writing for MetalHammer confirmed they sound like a concrete brontosaurus! and described them as “Pissed Off Retro Rock” The band very much approved………..

In 2010 Ashes Of Iron played their London debut at a sold out electric ballroom show supporting Garcia Plays Kyuss and another show with fellow Kyuss/Fu Manchu man Brant Bjork at Leeds cockpit six days later.
2011 has been about recording their debut album, which has now been mixed and mastered in Kentucky by a couple of underground rock legends, Jason Groves & David Angstrom (SupaFuzz, Asylum On The Hill & Hermano)
