Later meeting Micky and Adam at the age of 12, he began sneaking himself into rock venues and clubs for the chance to release his teenage angst and anger onto any drum-kit he could get behind. The untimely loss of his father and brother, sparked a brotherly bond between his band members; Ashmead often comments “My band mates are my family – don’t fuck with them because I will never let it lie”
