There was something contagious in the air at The Underground in Charlotte on Wednesday night. As the lights dimmed, it was clear that everyone inside was ready to catch The New Disease From Ashes to New .
Local openers Not Enough Space kicked things off, instantly getting the room moving. And by 7:40, Until I Wake had turned that spark into a full-on blaze. At 8:25, Magnolia Park stormed in with their pop-punk energy and midway through their set dropping a brand-new song “Shadow Talk.”
By the time From Ashes to New hit the stage at 9:30, the atmosphere inside The Underground was absolutely electric.
The lights fell, smoke swirled, and the first pulse of “New Disease” hit like a jolt to the chest. Vocalist Danny Case commanded the crowd with vocals that were equal parts fury and vulnerability, while Matt Brandyberry delivered verses that cut deep with emotion and truth. The live version of “New Disease” roared with intensity — more raw, more urgent, and more powerful than the studio track. From there, the band unleashed a high-impact set that felt like one emotional release after another: • New Disease – a fierce opener that set the tone. • Nightmare – heavy, haunting, and undeniably commanding. • My Fight – fists raised, hearts open, a battle cry of defiance. • Monster in Me – introspective and intense, a fan-favorite moment. • Enough – driving rhythms met with raw vulnerability. • Heartache – bittersweet and soaring. • Scars That I’m Hiding – a powerful reminder that no one heals alone. • Hope You’re Happy – brutally honest yet irresistibly melodic. • Hate Me Too – the room erupted, chaos in perfect sync. • My Name – gritty confidence in motion. • Barely Breathing – emotion laid bare, voices joined in catharsis. • Dead to Me – dark, powerful, and unapologetically bold. • Nothing – echoing singalongs filled every corner. • Through It All – hopeful, honest, and heartfelt. • Panic – the explosive finale that left Charlotte shaking. Halfway through the set, Brandyberry took a quiet moment to speak directly to the crowd about mental health, a recurring heartbeat in the band’s message. “We write these songs because we’ve lived them,” he shared. “If you’re struggling, it doesn’t mean you’re weak — it means you’re human. Nights like this, they remind us that we’re never fighting alone.” That statement hung in the air long after the music returned. You could feel it — a shared understanding between band and fan that this wasn’t just a show, it was a lifeline. By the final note of “Panic,” Charlotte was exhausted, euphoric, and completely alive. Fans poured into the night knowing the morning’s routine would come too soon, but nobody cared. The ache, the ringing ears, the lost voices — all worth it. Because From Ashes to New don’t just play songs. They turn pain into purpose, and struggle into sound. Their performance leaves something behind — a spark, a sense of connection, maybe even a new disease that no one wants cured.
By the time From Ashes to New hit the stage at 9:30, the atmosphere inside The Underground was nothing short of electric. Vocalist Danny Case commanded the room with soaring vocals while Matt Brandyberry delivered verses that cut straight to the core. “New Disease” roared to life with an intensity that eclipsed the studio version and from there the band launched into a setlist filled with songs new and old. By the time the band tore through “Barely Breathing,” “Dead to Me,” and “Through It All,” every corner of the venue was screaming along.
Midway through the night, Brandyberry paused for a quiet moment to speak on mental health. “We write these songs because we’ve lived them,” he shared. “If you’re struggling, it doesn’t mean you’re weak, it means you’re human.”
