Ashers Signs To Thorp Records
Boston’s ASHERS, fronted by Mark Civitarese of THE UNSEEN (Hellcat Records), has signed to Thorp Records.
Ashers became a band as a result of the chemistry discovered between Mark and Billy Brown of CRASH AND BURN (Thorp Recs) and DEADLY SINS, two bands that became synonymous with the creativity of the Boston scene. Mark and Bill constantly found themselves contributing to each other’s projects and finally decided to begin a proper full time band together. Ashers plays a combination of hardcore, dirty rock, anthemic punk, and metal that creates a new flavor altogether for fans of aggressive music.

Thorp Records founder, Andy King, explained his thoughts on Ashers, "I've known Mark as kind of an over-the-phone friend since 2005. We used to chat all the time just about music and Boston bands in general. We always talked about trying to find a way to work together with The Unseen, but it just never materialized. When he let me hear what he was doing with Ashers, I was blown away by the guttural ferocity of the music and the uniqueness of the sound and the aesthetic approach. Knowing that Bill Brown was involved, served to brand the sound as even more distinct and noteworthy."
