OK, 4 years after this thread was started I finally found an album that sounds like Endless Skies... I made it myself! I made sure not to include any bands which were mentioned in this thread, though certainly there are a few everyone will know (including one surprise, I hope!)
DOWNLOAD:

01 JIM PACHECO & THE SMITH BROTHERS - Dreamer
02 TERRITORIES - Ghostown
03 JAM PACT - Leave It Alone
04 DAN'S DEZERTERS - Far Away
05 CRY TOUGH - I Can't Wait
06 BAD AXE - Runner On The Wind
07 GIAN TROGI - Time
08 SOUTHERN CROSS BAND - Outlaw (Josie Wales)
09 CACUMEN - No Reason To Fight
10 AFTER DARK - Mister Moonlight
11 AXE - Battles
Some of these songs have nothing to do with metal (e.g. "Ghostown") and others require a little patience (e.g. "Time") but I think that is in keeping with the spirit of ASHBURY.

Thanks, i'll give this a try.
I know a couple of the songs listed, so i'm hoping the others are equally good.

Keir, your compilation is pure gold. I only knew CACUMEN, AXE as well as BAD AXE, haha. So i found many sweet surprises there for me which otherwise i surely would have missed out, thanks!!

Thanks for the cool compilation Keir. Interesting stuff.
That nwobhm band called Limelight reminds me of Ashbury a lot for some reason.

Cool comp - I'm definitely hearing bits of Ashbury in the Southern Cross Band song!

By the way, in terms of new bands you folks might hear similarities in Wytch Hazel from the UK:

I don't mean to cause this thread to derail (well in fact I do
), but how come stuff Ashbury as well as semi-crappy Swedish punky powerpop from 1979 seem so cool in underground metal circles while the steel merchants of WASP is spat on and referred to as "stadium rock"?
NP (on my tongue): Robinsons - Old Tom Strong Ale
