Ambry (Defined as: A niche near the altar of a church for keeping sacred vessels and vestments) sprung from mutual friendships, the demise of the members previous bands, a chance live journal post and the desire for all involved to write music from the heart that would affect listeners the same way their favorite bands have affected them. Having worked with the initial lineup for about a year a few bass player and drummer adjustments over that time takes us to early 2004 and the solid Ambry foundation that exists today. Made up of Justin Bloch (Guitar), Geof Gagnon (Guitar), Christopher Thibault (Vocals), Aaron Bernard (Bass), Derrick Flanagin (Drums) Now solidified team Ambry quickly entered Jam room studios in Hudson, NH and recorded a promising 3 song demo that combines the best elements of melodic punk with a heavy edge and darkly introspective lyrics. The 3 songs quickly garnered the band much internet attention, a multitude of Purevolume plays and a spot on the Summer 2004 Utterpunk.com tour that took them from one coast to the other and back. Along the way they shared the stage with bands such as Silverstein, Armor for sleep, Northstar, and Moneen then culminating in a hometown Warped tour appearance.

Jump once more to Fall 2004 and Ambry becomes the third band to sign to The Death Scene based on the strength of their demo, live performance and determination to make amazing music. With the deal signed Ambry now prepares to enter the studio in January 2005 with noted producer Jesse Cannon (Static Lullaby, Northstar, Shai Hulud) to create what will undoubtedly be one of 2005’s standout releases. Upon completion of their new CD Ambry intend to leave their lives and loves behind to embark on a non-stop touring schedule in support of the release scheduled for Spring 2005.

Ambry called it quits in 2005. Members went on to form Me as Time.

In 2011, Ambry posted a new demo song called Gasoline to their bandcamp page.
Many beards grew in celebration of a new song from one of the coolest bands ever.

This is the worst
I'm nothing more than a second of your thoughts
This is the worst
You're nothing more than the one I lost

This is the worst
I'm nothing more than something you forgot
This is the worst

Its sad to think id love to make you cry

Sew your lips shut and kiss them while you try
To break through and scream how much you hate me
This is an all time low for romance
A match made in hell

I'll take you dancing through the streets
And drag you by your feet
Don't the stars look lovely from down there?
Did you help me

You think this hurts
I'm dying here
Kick and scream as loud as you want
Its like music to my ears

This is such a beautiful display of hatred
So this is it?
As we both know it never had to end like this
You can remember me as the boy who was so selfish

To take all this rejection as unhindered affection
To be the last one to see you shut your eyes
Before you dream of other places
To be the last one to see you cry

Would be like living in my dreams
I'll throw you off this building top
Just to be the one to catch you
Before you hit the ground ill be there

I'll be the one to catch you
Love is dead
Hearts are bleeding
I'll throw you off this building top

Just to be the one to catch you
Before you hit the ground ill be there

I'll be the one to catch you
But you can't make somebody love you

Just to be the one to catch you
I will do whatever it takes to be the one who rescues you from danger

Love is dead
Romantic love has been destroyed in this situation

Hearts are bleeding
Our emotional pain is intense and palpable
