Edmonton’s favourite mischievous metallers ALL ELSE FAILS gave fans a mission last month asking them to help AEF reach 10,000 likes on their Facebook fanpage and in return drummer Shane Tym will get his ass tattooed. The call was answered and the mission was accomplished as fans rushed and shared AEF‘s fan page around the interweb like wild fire. Just a few days after reaching that 10,000 mark, Tym had bassist Seedy Mitchell‘s face tattooed to his right cheek. These are true brothers in arms; check out the video at the following link below. (you will laugh and laugh hard!)

Bio:

Socially conscious, lyrically poetic, rife with apocalyptic symbolism; All Else Fails is poised to take our world by storm. Playing an aggressively dark blend of Punk, Metal, and Rock, this well established Edmonton based band breaks the traditional ideals of their genre by producing music infused with experimental elements, incorporating Classical music, Electronica influenced synth lines, and spoken word sampling. This is metal for a new audience, one that’s ready for what’s beyond the ordinary.

Their inspired high-energy live show sets them apart from their peers, often drawing comparisons to The Holly Springs Disaster and Killswitch Engage.

The band’s unique sound has won them acclamation and fans from across Canada and around the globe. Using intricate guitar riffs and meaningful lyrics delivered with powerful vocals, they draw their listeners in, and then blast them with full frontal force!

The band has played with major touring acts such as Fear Factory, City of Fire, 3 Inches of Blood, Threat Signal, Decapitated, Suffocation, and Arise & Ruin, as well as earning a spot playing the Ernie Ball stage on the 2009 Vans Warped Tour that featured Bad Religion, Alexisonfire, NOFX, Devil Wears Prada, Underoath, and more.

On the local circuit via their indie label Suicidal Bride Records, All Else Fails frequently shares the stage with some of Canada’s top touring indie acts such as Ninjaspy, Endast, Quartered, Stella, Dead Jesus, Fattooth, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Submerge the Sky, Without Mercy, and more.

AEF have several tours under their belt including a 2009 Cross Canada tour, western Canada in June of 2010, and coast to coast Canadian tour again in September of 2010 which saw them placed on not just one showcase at Indie Week in Toronto, but so impressing organizers of the event that they received an invitation to play a second showcase that week.

2012 is a year full of promise for the band with an aggressive plan to increase touring, building on the wave of new fans that were created on previous tours, as well as new recordings and music videos. All Else Fails will be reaching beyond borders this year, ready to set the world in flames!

0 Testimonials

“Some labels should take note of the professionalism of one or two PR companies like Asher Media whose comprehensive background and information on this new Canadian act (Titans Eve) is top quality” – Martin Harris – Powerplay Mag UK

“…I remember coming home after getting the first pressing of our record and being so proud and excited but also having this feeling of “WHAT NOW?”, how do I show this to the world?…..the answer came in the form of Mr. Jon Asher and ASHER MEDIA, who pushed our band and exposed our music to more media and listeners in three months than we had in the previous three years. A publicist is the best thing you can do for your band and ASHER MEDIA is as professional, dedicated and committed to your success as any you’ll find. Much love from the ADRENECHROME boys.” – Chris Friesen – Adrenechrome

“Jon Asher has been an integral part of our team for years, and I’ve recommended him to many other bands looking for promo help. He gets shit done and is a true professional! Not to mention a cool dude.” – Tim Brown – Striker

“Jon Asher is a world-class professional. He always gets the job done and at a fast pace. With very reasonable price packages he is the right PR guy for bands or festivals of all sizes. I’ve used him for my band and management company. 100% recommend Asher Media Relations.” – Eric Dow – Hellsott/Fatal Ilness Management/ Wacken Metal Battle USA

“Jon has done an absolutely killer job working on Hyperspace Metal Festival. His professionalism and promptness have helped elevate the festival to the next level. If you’re promoting an international metal event in Canada you’d be a fool to not have him on your team.” – Joey Hockin – Journeyman Productions / Hyperspace Metal Festival

“Jon Asher is the man you want if you’re looking to do PR for your band. Doesn’t matter if you’re big or small he’ll always give 110% to land you the biggest outlets and coverage he can. A+ experience, Jon is a joy to work with and we wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again. If you’re looking to take your band to the next level, look no further than Asher Media Relations.” – Matt Leblanc – Ancient Thrones

“Working with Jon Asher at Asher Media was a great experience for us at Iron Kingdom, he was involved in our latest album ‘On The Hunt’, which was released on Oct 4th, 2019. He not only did the expected tasks of a PR company, (getting us album reviews online and in magazines, interviews, radio play, etc..) but he also went beyond that, he took on additional roles such as suggesting how best to build hype around our new release, and how to schedule that hype properly. Jon even came out to meet us and watch us perform in his hometown, and he even helped us promote an additional tour simply as a friend helping us out. I highly recommend Asher Media as a hard-working, and genuine PR company that any band should be proud to hire.” – Chris Osterman (Iron Kingdom)

“Not only is Jon an incredible PR guy, he is also an incredible person. Always does what’s right, dependable, and works his ass off. Thank you Jon for all of your hard work, and for everyone wondering if they should go with Jon…Do it and thank us later!” – Bobby Keller – Meka Nism

“Asher Media Relations rules. Quick, efficient, and easy to work with. The results are tangible, the rates are affordable, and the effects are long-lasting. Essential for Canadian artists.” – Chris McCrimmon – Widow’s Peak

“There are two kinds of people in the music industry: those who like to talk about results, and those who deliver them. Jon is the embodiment of the second. We’ve worked with him for all our releases for Red Cain, and there is no one else who will absolutely step it up 110% and fight for your band day after day, to get you heard, seen, and talked about in hundreds of press outlets.

When it comes to marketing, you get what you put in, in terms of quality material and collateral – but if you approach this professionally and provide Asher with a release schedule and strong media content, he is a battering ram, and will get you reviews, interviews, airplay, and everything in between. Despite nominally being a North American publisher, Asher Media can get a surprising amount of overseas presence for your band as well (we had interest from UK, Germany, etc), and there is no overvaluing the strong relationships with media outlets Jon has built over his years in the business.

Building a lasting relationship with Asher has been a huge benefit for us as a band – but he is just a great dude as well. Approach him professionally, give him all the tools, and treat his work with respect, and he will take care of you – it’s as simple as that.” – Evgeniy Zayarny – Red Cain

“We have had the pleasure of working with Asher Media for many releases now. He’s been our go-to guy for a little over 3 years and we love working with him. I don’t think we have met anyone else who drives and works so hard for your band. You feel and know that he believes in your band and product your pushing, and he gets that out there better than anyone else could. The results and feedback speak for themselves, as well as Jon just being a very stand up guy all around.” – Woodhawk

“Asher Media Relations was the biggest single action we took as a band to get our music heard. In a matter of months, we had interviews on radio stations, podcasts, and print magazines. We had our music featured on multiple leading heavy music websites/social media. It turned into real dollars when we started seeing album and merch sales all across the globe. Can’t recommend Jon enough – working with him truly changed the trajectory of our band.” – Derek Lionas – Getaway Van

“Imonolith has worked with Jon Asher for just over a year now. His work is top notch, consistent and punctual. We want to be as professional as possible in the music industry and, Asher Media helps us accomplish that. We highly recommend Asher Media for all your Canadian PR needs.” – Imonolith

“Not only is Jon Asher fun to work with, he is also one of the most persistent dudes I’ve ever met in the music industry… he does what he says he’s going to do, and doesn’t make claims that he can’t back up.” – Joshua Key (Guitar) – Psychostick

“Jon, always works his ass off for us. If we need that extra push for upcoming releases (Single, full album or otherwise,) he’s always helped us reach all kinds of audiences we couldn’t on our own. As a relatively new band, he’s assisted with learning the ins and outs of the industry that we didn’t know previously. Always has the best interest of our band in mind! Can’t wait to work with him again on our next release!” -Die Another Day

“Through working with Jon, our local and international fanbase has grown. His company lays it all out for us as a band, a clear objective, sources, and price. Since our first major release, we trusted Asher and excitedly anticipated the results. Asher Media Relations is a mainline to the rest of the Metal community. You get out of it what you put in, and AMR elevates a band to a level of professionalism in personal presentation and in the press.” – Black Absinthe

“A good publicist should be the corner stone of any serious musical act’s marketing plan. Asher Media Relations is without a doubt the best metal publicist in the country, and it helped us get attention from a wide range of media, including our targeted audience. We probably wouldn’t have record deals today if we didn’t have AMR to help us in the first place, and we owe Jon for this.” – Nicolas Miquelon (bassist/vocalist) – Norilsk

“I work with many people in the business and no one work as hard as Jon at Asher Media! Let’s face it, without that guy the scene will fall down in a second. He represents the passion, the hard work and the heart of music. With him the sky is the limit!” – DjpunkassBed – Prescription Punk Rock CKRL 89.1 FM (Quebec City)

“Asher’s been the extra kick we needed to punch up our releases. We’ve released two albums previously and people didn’t notice them as much as Prototype. It’s a professional business with awesome results, and lots of efforts are put into getting the word around!” – Stef Jomphe (Vocalist) – Insurrection

“Infrared has worked with Asher Media multiple times and each time Jon delivered exactly what was promised and more. He is easy to work with and really guides you through the PR process. The exposure we gained through working with Asher Media was impressive to say the least. Will definitely be using Asher Media in the future.” – Infrared

“Jon did a great job handling press for our release! We had some fantastic placements, and he was always incredibly responsive and timely for all of our questions. Would highly recommend!” -Fang VonWrathenstein – Barbarian Vocals, Lords of the Trident
