ASG, short for Amplification of Self-Gratification, is a rock band that hails from the coastal town of Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. Formed in the early 2000s, the band is renowned for its dynamic blend of heavy metal, southern rock, and punk influences, culminating in a sound that has both grit and melody. Comprised of Jason Shi on vocals and guitar, Andy Ellis on bass, Scott Key on drums, and Jonah Citty on guitar, ASG has carved out a distinctive niche within the stoner and alternative metal scenes with its relentless riffs, catchy hooks, and Shi's distinctive vocal style.

Over the years, ASG has been steadily building a catalog of work and a dedicated fan base with their relentless touring and consistent release of material. Their most recent full-length album, "Survive Sunrise," showcases the band's evolution, blending their hard-hitting sound with more nuanced, introspective songwriting. With tracks like "Execution Thirst" and "Pyramid Wheels," ASG demonstrates their ability to churn out driving, anthemic rockers that resonate with fans of heavy music. Their earlier efforts, such as "Win Us Over" and "Blood Drive," have become defining moments in their career, solidifying their reputation as craftsmen of infectious and riff-heavy rock music. Whether through singles, EPs like "Scion AV Presents - Comet Drop," or their split releases, ASG has consistently proven their dedication to their sound and their position as stalwarts in the hard rock community.
