 Published on November 15th 2002 Asher is a four-piece pop-punk/emo band out of Ithaca, NY. Their self-released debut EP "...for your eyes" was recorded at Cipher Studios and their single "Lost in Johnson City" was included on the recent Cipher Records comp. "...for your eyes" is a decent debut for a newly-formed band. All of the guys were still freshman in college when this was released, and their sound is unpolished. However, they do exhibit serious potential. "Lost in Johnson City" is explosive and emotional, "Rally" is straight-up catchy pop-punk, and "Cannon" is an inspired burst of poetic lyrics and clever guitars. The three-part vocal layering at the end smacks of Midtown, but the band comes off sounding more like Saves The Day. Vocalist John Brhel writes some insteresting lines, like "This summer will be so grand / we'll slide down on top of the piano again" and "She stuck crisp autumn leaves in my throat from college trees." However, they somehow work with Asher's crunchy guitars, clean lead riffs, and energetic drums. Their follow-up album should be something worth checking out.

Scott, you need to get laid. "I mean, Her forheard and hair makes my little soldier stand at attention" Part of me wants to update the reviews, hence pushing this one off the top 20. Hmmm....nice mouth. she might be asian she looksl ike a girl that will be a fat ugly housewife within the next 5-10 years...........that's why i think she's disgusting. ok try this, scroll down a little bit, and stop just below her chin, look at her... that was fun while it lasted.. eh, she looks like the average college girl with her finger up her ass It kinda looks to me like the expression on her face is saying "this finger is going further up my ass than I'd ever expected" i'm sure these guys rock live with those practice amps theyre playin out of on the front of their webpage, as for the chick, she's got nice dairy bags but the expression on her face looks like she just won 1st place in the wheelchair races, later. cant comment bout the girl... one picture never really tells hottness Jesus! this is really driving me nuts! Is she hot or ugly!? I honestly cannot decide. AAAHHHH this hurts! and the guy who made the bikini and camero comment was probably dead on. OK, here is what I just realized. When I say it's her face that makes me sick, its the lower portion. shes the object of affection for one of the band memebers for sure..and was like 'you guys should put me on the cover of your cd'. so they did- but when it was time to take pictures.. none of these emo wussies had the rox to say.. okay- put a skimpy bathing suit on and stand next to my camero. I KNOW WHO THAT IS i bet that girl likes the get up kids. Did her face get hit with a bag of pennies. . .haha, j/k. . .i'd do her! These comments are fucking hilarious . . .they need to put up more shit like this instead of everyone turning on each other and their music, they can take out their aggression on ugly girls. . .haha I am torn in deciding of that girl is a hot-ass or a tart. I mean, There are he perfectly molded breats that are just sreaming "Feel me with your tongue!" BUt there is also that face that switches between "hot" and "not" everytime I blink. This is the best comments section ever. something is wrong with her face I like to score with that girl. But it looks like they cut half of the picture and slapped as a cover. hahahaha i bet she looks great naked. nice tits.. probably has a nice bald beav.. that hemp necklace means you can probably get her stoned and make out with her- as long as shes got her homework done. uptight sorority bitch. brimful asher on the 45.. Maybe if she didn't look so conservative she'd be ok. Her eyebrows look painted on. I think she's pretty damn cute. The score is for the girl. this album cover makes me want to hate this band. how fucking dorky... Those lyrics make me want to puke. How can you be so cheerful all the time?!? Did his testosterone die? And as for this girl on the cover, she looks like she might be an ugly housewife in a few years, gross. Give me a blonde stripper thank you. Adios. Sounds like another candy ass, mommy loving pop band. ................................. I didn't know they were friends with Michelle Branch! haha, j/k She's kinda beat looking but she looks like she has pretty nice meat pillows! eek. that covers gonna give me nightmares. |
