Everyday Sunshine is a documentary about the band Fishbone, musical pioneers who have been rocking on the margins of pop culture for the past 25 years. From the streets of South Central-Los Angeles and the competitive Hollywood music scene of the 1980's, the band rose to prominence, only to fall apart when on the verge of "making it."

Last week From Ashes Rise uploaded a photo to their Facebook account of a calendar with four dates marked. At The end of January they have the 28 - 30 marked down as recording. These sessions mark the first studio sessions for the band since their 2009 reunion and first studio release since 2003's Nightmares LP, though they did release the Live Hell live album in early 2010.
