Ashmont Hill

A breath of fresh air. That's how to describe Ashmont Hill, a new group hailing from the Boston area. Consisting of April Thompson, Phil Thompson and Deborah Bullock along with Deborah's husband, Wil Bullock, the foursome have a sound geared towards the CCM market, but with harmonies, a purity of lyricism and a worship-driven sound that will capture the hearts of Gospel music lovers.

Their self-titled release on Axiom Records is a hit [Vote on their new singles, here!].

"Praise Thy Name", written by Phil, showcases their tight harmonies as they direct their worship vertical. Rising singer and vocal arranger, Calvin Nowell along with Tony Sutherland write "A Song of Glory", another worship offering with a light vibe, perfect for summer radio.

Reflecting on the beauty of Christ's love as expressed on the cross, Ashmont Hill delivers with lead single, "You Proved Your Love". This pop number deserves more than just one listen with lyrics describing facts that never get tired.

Matt Redmon's "Blessed Be Your Name" gets an Ashmont Hill makeover, but fans of the original should love this one as well.

Upbeat in tempo and lyrics, "I Give You Worship" should find its way into several song services. "Restore Us Again" has a strong Commissioned influence with a hint of Anointed which equals an instant jam. The song is slick as it eases into "Revival Fire Fall" during the bridge.

Currently on tour with Natalie Grant, Ashmont Hill is poised to turn heads and break more barriers with this release. Don't sleep on this disc!
