Ashes of Babylon is an authentic roots rock reggae group originally hailing from Lake Charles, Louisiana and now based out of Austin, Texas. They pull their authenticity from the sun-soaked shores of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands where AoB members Corey "Ras Rell" Saucier and Jacob "Debo Realis" Crenshaw met, began jamming, and developed an affinity for the vibes and ites of authentic roots reggae. They are a 7 piece group with heavy riddims driven by Dan Robertson (drums) and Eric Daigle (bass) sweet horn flourishes created by Sammy P. Chapman (alto sax), Max Sprigg (trumpet), and Jacob Crenshaw (tenor sax) and lively guitar licks and flowing 3-part harmonies floatin' through the airwaves courtesy of Corey Saucier (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, baritone horn), Beau Guidry (lead guitar, backing vocals) and Jacob Crenshaw (tenor sax, backing vocals). Formed in 2006, AoB has since performed live all over the south from Austin, Texas to Columbus, Georgia and almost everywhere inbetween. The group has amassed over 30 quality original tunes, believing that a solid original live show must and will be the cornerstone for their success. Their first album, "Revolutionary Roots," was released in November of 2008 and has been met with much critical success to date. The feeling of the album was envisioned to give an authentic picture of the group's live show and doesn't disappoint in doing just that. It is now available for purchase on both iTunes and CD Baby.
