   About Sunlight Ascending
Hey there... we're an instrumental rock band from Detroit, Michigan. We're all pretty young (In between the ages of 16 and 22), and we have been a band for 2 years now. We have no vocalist, just 4 guitars and a drum set. Our live sets are usually very loud. We love what we do and we'll probably continue doing what we do for a very long time. Hope you enjoy!

Check out these nice things people have said about us:

"Music is inherently spiritual, and All the Memories, All At Once brings out this fact quite well. Each wondrous peak had me either closing my eyes in appreciation, or wishing one of these songs some movie-time in the near future. It's albums like this that are better described by listening rather than through words, so there's nothing more to say than bravo and encore. This is truly great." - Absolute Punk

"It is pretty impressive that a band this young can play at a level that some musicians 10-15 years their senior aren’t even close to... to the band, I say keep up the great work and go for it. College is overrated anyways." - Late Night Wallflower

"This band could be the future of the saturated genre of post-rock" - NoiZine

"I'm still reluctant to pinch myself, in case it really is all a dream that these guys (and a girl) whose ages range from 15-21 can produce an album of such maturity far beyond their years. Never has potential been so unbridled. - Rock Freaks

"This is some pretty stellar - although standard - post-rock. Especially considering these are kids, I think that definitely ups the appreciation of the music as you listen to it. Honestly, it's better than 7/10 post-rock bands you hear lately, and dare I say even some of those cult favorites that are selling stadiums worth of tickets now (I'll hold back names, but they mostly all have 4 words in their band name)" - Mirror Shades

"In the last couple of years post-rock has taken a tumble in the popularity. After its 2004 heyday, the genre exploded in terms of bands, labels, fans, and coverage, naturally leading to a period of stagnation and disillusionment as everyone grew weary of Explosions in the Sky and Godspeed copyists. Thankfully, this appears to have leveled out, with bands like Saxon Shore, upcdownc, and Caspian, to name but a few, all breaking through with releases of genuine originality and quality. In hindsight, this stagnation was actually a blessing, not a curse; it forces bands to strive for excellence in order to be noticed, resulting in higher caliber of post-rock band emerging from the shadows. Gifts From Enola, If These Trees Could Talk, and The Dead Sea are leading the new revolution, and Sunlight Ascending will soon be joining their ranks." - The Silent Ballet

"Dreamy, but delightfully brisk shoegaze music from a youthful five piece band that will bring instant comparisons with Kyte, though there is something oddly reminiscent of Iceland’s equally youthful For A Minor Reflection. - Mr. Nixon's Music Class

"While the band has stayed true to the foundations of both indie rock and metal, the group fashions both genres together like a painter, creating beautiful soundscapes that need no words or vocals. The crunch of Maiden is there, along with the noise-pop sensibilities of groups like The Velvet Underground." - Real Detroit Weekly

Guys, you should be shouting from the rooftops about your recent All The Memories, All At Once release. I found it by chance when I Googled you and managed to download the whole album from Future Recordings. Brilliant!! You're doing the right thing to get your music out there for free in the early stages of your career, but you need to get some revenue if and when you release your next album. I would buy it from iTunes and it's so easy to self-release music that way. Keep up the good work!! Nigel.

Guys, you definitely float my boat. Great sound and I can see the unfluences. The post rock genre is a pretty crowded place these days, but there's still room for bands that can stay fresh and original. I am looking forward to see how you develop and grow and may be one day you will get to tour the UK! Good luck.
