Be sure to tune in this Saturday for the L.A. Lloyd Rock 30 Countdown with guest host From Ashes to New’s Matt Brandyberry !
When From Ashes To New returns to the Rock 30, it’s more than another guest appearance. Vocalist Matt Brandyberry joins LA Lloyd for his eighth time as guest co-host — a relationship that’s grown well beyond the typical artist interview. Over the years, conversations have evolved from chart updates to real discussions about growth, pressure, leadership, and what it takes to sustain momentum in modern rock.
On the upcoming episode of the ROck 30 Countdown: Matt opens up about what From Ashes To New has been doing recently including joining the 2026 ShipRocked cruise. He also talks candidly about something fans have started to notice more during live shows; the space between the songs. Instead of just performing, he’s been using those moments to connect on a personal level, sharing more about his journey, and how his mindset has changed over the past few years.
The conversation then turns to new music, including the band’s latest single, “Drag Me,” from the upcoming album Reflections, set for release on April 17, 2026. Matt breaks down the energy behind the track, how it fits into the evolution of the band’s sound, and why Reflections represents a new chapter creatively.
