“Ad Aspera Per Astra travels through what it means to be alive amongst the fake and predictable. I am amazed at how Jeremy Spring can say in such few words that most only think. What I hear while listening in, I learn more about myself…and what is beyond.” -Frank Jenks – interviewer/podcaster – listenin.org
Excited to bring their live show to the masses the band will kick off dates with Swimming With Dolphins on March 8 that will lead them into an April tour with tour with The Wedding and Showbread.
“Quite simply, Abandon Kansas’ debut full length ‘Ad Astra Per Aspera’ is a delight to listen to. The melodies are big, the vocals compelling, and the guitar gives the whole thing an ambient accessibility. This is good old Rock and Roll with an earthy, alternative twist”
– The Album Project
