AN UPDATE FROM ASHES DIVIDE’S BILLY HOWERDEL

While Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan has been busy dicking around with V is for Vagina (haha, get it?), the real brains behind A Perfect Circle has been busy on a new project, Ashes Divide. Billy Howerdel, always the mastermind behind A Perfect Circle in that Reznor/NIN kind of way, will be releasing the Ashes Divide debut Keep Telling Myself It’s Alright this Spring. Unsurprisingly the music we’ve heard from the band’s MySpace page sounds a whole lot like APC — and this is great news if you ask us. Supposedly their first single “The Stone” is burning up the radio charts, and it’s a damn good track, but who needs radio when we’ve got the Internet?

Matt Pinfield recently sat down with Howerdel in the most Zen of settings for an interview about Ashes Divide. The following clip and more can be viewed at the Ashes Divide YouTube channel.
