aSHARDofHOPE was born in Jan. 2002 when founder Bray Jones was cast out of the band he was in for artistic differences. For the next year Bray studied many different instruments and taught himself how to record. He developed a recording studio called NeXt eXit Studios. Bray began to make music once the studio was thought up. He spent the remainder of the year diving into dangerous parts of his soul, digging up memories and tortured thoughts that brought aSoH's music to life. Now in 2005, aSHARDofHOPE is back with new styles and melancholy to bring to the masses. Armed with a new very talented band; Bray Jones (Vocals, Guitar), Melissa Bickford (Bass), Tim Hall (Guitar), and James Haining (Drums), are turning the page on gothic rock and making it more gruesome and bloodier than ever before. Listen...it's all in the words!
