about THE EMBER DAYS



  What  is  your  response  to love? How does hope take shape?   How  are  victories celebrated  and  pain catalysed?                                             

  For  The  Ember  Days the answer is worship. From the early  days  spent crafting the voice of their unique sound, the band's evolution has always been compelled by their mission to connect listeners to their maker.

  Formed  in  2006  and spearheaded by Jason and Janell Belcher,  The  Ember  Days  began  as  an  attempt to explore  worship music in its fullest sense - passion and devotion, spoken through their widespread musical influences  to  a new generation of worshipers. Their debut  album  "Your Eyes Light Up" was captivating in it's  emotional  movements,  seamlessly  weaving  the heavy  with the ambient, the driving and the melodic, their  eyes  and  hearts directed upwards throughout.

  For  The  Ember  Days, the mission is simple; "We are five  people  that  passionately  love  God,  we love people,  we  want to speak the truth and see the body of Christ united. We play songs that reflect that and we  try  to  bring  the presence of God to anyone who listens"  -  a  sentiment  that has echoed with many, garnering  them  a  large  following  of  like-minded worshipers and seeing the band play at festivals such as  NZ's  Parachute  Festival,  Cornerstone  Festival (U.S)  and  Spirit  West  Coast  ‘08  (U.S).  In  New Zealand,  the band has toured extensively with fellow patriots  Mumsdollar,  Arms  Reach  and All Left Out. 
  Last  year  the  band toured the U.S extensively with Tooth  & Nail's Showbread and The Glorious Unseen. On the  back  of their rigorous touring "Your Eyes Light Up"  earned  a New Zealand Music Award nomination for best  Christian  album.    

  The  proverb  says;  make  your  plans,  and God will direct  your  steps. For a band who's vision has been so firmly fixed, the direction has been well steered.  As  a  result of their first U.S tour, the Ember Days  have     joined     forces     with    Come&Live    ( http://www.comeandlive.com/),   a  pioneering  collective  of musicians  who  have  chosen  to treat their art like their  mission,  giving their music away and donating profits to the needy. For a band like the Ember Days, the  decision  to  go with the U.S-based ‘anti-label'

  was  a simple move to keep God, people and ultimately faith    at    the    core    of    their   vocation.         

  With  a  new  line-up, the Ember Days self-titled E.P was   released   this  year;  a  stunning  collective channelling  the  emotive  dynamics of Sigur Ros with the  heartfelt  drive  of  Thrice  - an atmosphere in which  worship  can  explore  it's  true meaning; the  connection with God, the heart's ache, the soaring of hope.  All  this delivered by 5 worshippers, ardently disappearing  in  the music in order to let the maker speak  what  He will.

  The  Ember Days are currently living in Nashville and  have  just  finished recording their next full length to be released sometime in 2010.

about ASCEND THE HILL


More  than  a  band,  more  than  songs  craftily arranged by musicians, more than a group of dudes  running after their dreams. Ascend The Hill exists for a purpose far greater than their own selfish  endeavors...we  exist  to make much of the name of Jesus. Without Him in our midst we're just another social  gathering, and we're  wasting our  time.                              

 As a result of the life, death, resurrection and in turn, relationship that Christ has offered each  and  every one of us, our lives have been changed for the better, and wrecked for any selfish gains  that  this  world  has  to  offer.  Nothing  satisfies  the  deepest  longings of hearts but Jesus.                  

 A.W.  Tozer  said,  "thirsty  hearts are those whose longings have been wakened by the touch of God  within  them."  Our  desire  is that every person who comes in contact with our music will have the  opportunity  to  be  "wakened  by  the  touch  of  God,"  and  will  never  be  the  same  for  it.                       

 What  is  purpose?  What  is unconditional love? How can we keep hope alive? Delve with us a little deeper, Ascend The Hill of the Lord with us and we'll discover together.
