The band was born in Tortona in 2000 by two old friends Zubo(vox) and La Jasy(guitar).They started playing punk-rock and created with Camo(drums), Mr.Bare(guitar) and Carletto(bass) the first embryo of the “Ashpipe”, that was called “Parte Lesa”.
Parte Lesa was a local punk rock band which played only covers in any local backyard and school parties to increasing crowd.
After one year Camo, Mr.Bare and Carletto decided to follow different ways while Zubo and La Jasy started to write their songs.
In 2004 Dovids joined the band on guitar and, after meeting the brothers Giova(drums) and Fede(bass), they formed “Ashpipe”.
In 2005 they recorded the first demo “Quickly Silent” with the help of friend Rico at “Rico's studios”.
They played in many gigs to support “Quickly Silent” and after only one year they decided to came back in the “Rico's studios” to record the second demo..”Sucking this”.
The sound was a powerful pop-punk one with melodic vocals and it was sung only in English.
The band continue its activity till the end of 2006 when Giova and after Fede decided to devote themselves full time in another project.
So one day “La Jasy” called Camo and proposed him to “re-join” the band. Camo,in that period,was at the end of another project and he immediately accepted the offer of “La Jasy”.
He brought with him his friend Chicco at the organ and they decided to change their way by merging their experiences.
In the April of 2007 they started to work at the first full-length album of the “Ashpipe”. They worked hard and in two months they had 16 ideas of 16 new songs.
They came back to punk-rock but mixing it with ska,reggae and folk sonorities. Everything was ready to entering the studio.
Camo called Marco,a metal drummer of his town, asking him to join them in the recording of the album. He accepted and, in early June, they started to record.
It takes six months to finish and immediately Ashpipe began to play with the “Waiting for wave tour”.
The album, ”Waiting for wave”, was released on 10 November and is distributed by Primula Records on the main digital music store.
It was singing by two male voices (Camo and Zubo), both in English and in Italian, and the album represents the fusion of experience by Ashpipe's members from metal to punk, from ska to reggae through folk music.
