From the Ashes
A record about getting through: the light at the end of the tunnel, and holding each other up. It's honest about how dark the tunnel gets, with songs about addiction, depression, self-doubt and suicidal thoughts.
Some of these songs sit with heavy things. If you're struggling, call or text 988 (US). You're not alone.
