From Ashes To New

February 28-March 1, 2026

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.

Matt opens up to the fans

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. It’s a side of Matt that goes deeper than the singles — and Rock 30 listeners get that perspective firsthand.

Drag Me

The conversation also 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. Watch the official video for “Drag Me” below.
