The Ascension

Melbourne ambient rock group The Ascension rose out of the ashes of The Bright Star Alliance in 2010 to bring a new sound to the ears of Melburnians. The band are currently putting the finishing touches on their debut EP. With a melodic direction closer to Circa Survive than the heavy technical metalcore that Bright Star played, expect the unexpected with this release. I had a chat to Mitchell Barker, vocalist, founding member and main song-writer of The Ascension about the band's plans in 2011, playing Parkway acoustic covers, and his plans for the album's worth of un-released Bright Star material.
