The Assist
“It’s Just A Dream Away”
Coming from Walsall, The Assist is the West Midlands’ answer to The Alarm, with all the passion, spirit, and kick-assness of the former updated to 2010’s. When I first heard their music, I was amazed at how hard they rocked. This is such a great band. Comprised of Mikey Stanton, Ryan Stanton, Jorge Poole, and Ben Faulkner, these guys could be the rock and roll saviors that we’re looking for. The passion (I know, I used the term again) of this band is amazing. This is what I expected U2 to sound like before they went who knows. This is the rock that punk invented. That’s guys.
