Official press release:
From Ashes To New are in the middle of a moment.
Actually, make that many moments.
From Ashes To New are taking a firm stance against bullying as they drop their new radio single “Die For You” from their recently released album Reflections, out now via Better Noise Music. “Die For You” serves as the follow up to “Drag Me,” the band’s first-ever No. 1 at rock radio. It was a career high moment.
Also, “Die For You” has amassed over 11M streams globally and is outpacing many songs currently in top 10 at Active Rock chart.
From Ashes To New then experienced yet another moment — this one viral — that has demonstrated the depth of their connection with their fans. The band posted a video of one of their fans singing “Die For You” at a show, and noticed bullying comments being made towards the fan and immediately leapt to her defense. Vocalist Matt Brandyberry doubled down and addressed this behavior from the stage, reinforcing the fact that the band will not tolerate such antics. The band also reached out to the fan and promised her lifetime guest lists to their shows. Brandyberry says:
“All I could see was a beautiful soul having a beautiful moment. As a father of a son who dealt with some of these same things, there is no way I would let that behavior go unaddressed. Our fans mean everything to us and I will always do whatever I can to make them feel safe in our fandom.”
Singer Danny Case declares:
“I will always use my platform to fight back against assholes, especially when it comes to our fans. Growing up, I was the scrawny undersized kid with red hair so I know what it’s like to be targeted. I know what it’s like to feel helpless. Sometimes, all it takes is having someone stand up for you to make a difference. I never had that. I tried to ignore it all instead and it never made a difference. So when people say ‘Ignore the haters,’ I say ‘Fuck that.’ I say kick them in the fuckin’ teeth.”
From Ashes To New have further tapped into their philanthropic side and dedication to fans by partnering with Fandiem and HeartSupport, the organization founded by August Burns Red’s Jake Luhrs, to offer a flyaway promotion to Louder Than Life in Louisville this September. Teaming up with HeartSupport reflects a deeper, long-term dedication to mental health awareness and breaking down the stigma around asking for help.
The lucky winner will receive flight and hotel accomodations, a meet and greet with the band, a pair of VIP passes to Louder Than Life, a signed item, merchandise, a signed guitar, and side stage access during From Ashes To New’s set.
With this initiative, From Ashes To New continue to demonstrate a rare level of artist-driven commitment to their community, extending their message of resilience, honesty, and connection. Within a scene built on shared experience and emotional honesty, moments like this reinforce how vital it is for artists, fans, and communities to continue showing up for one another — both in celebration and in support when it matters most.
From Ashes To New bringing a campaign of this scale into a charitable partnership underscores the growing role major rock artists play in driving real-world impact beyond music consumption.
Reflections is out now through Better Noise Music and available to purchase/stream here.
