Editor's note

Waking Ashland's straightforward rock and earnest vocals

A Knoxville band whose songs favor direct lyrics and unadorned arrangements.

For a good sense of their sound, try 'The Politics Of Life' or 'Take Me With You' from their later work.

Their music has a consistent, unadorned quality that fits the kind of songs they write. Tracks like 'The Politics Of Life' and 'Money' show their tendency toward direct, lyric-driven material rather than elaborate production. 'Telescopes' from their 2008 debut 'Composure' became part of their early catalog.

Waking Ashland formed in Knoxville, Tennessee in 2006. They released 'Composure' in 2008, followed by albums like 'The Heights' in 2010 and 'Awake' in 2012. Guitarist Mike Chafin left in 2014, and they put out 'The Space Between Us' in 2019.
