Ash
From a 30 year career spanning Girl From Mars and the chart topping 1977 debut album to the award winning singles from the seminal Free All Angels album Ash returned with new album ‘Race The Night’ in September 2023 via Fierce Panda Records. The album's a blast of guitar music, probably the most rock thing they've done this side of 2004s Meltdown album. Not to say it's a one-dimensional record; it ping pongs back and forth from power pop, glam stomps, new wave and more styles of guitar music. But in their first release since both the career spanning Teenage Wildlife best of and enforced lockdown hiatus, you can hear the sheer joy of a band getting back to the creative present. The band have played major festivals all over the world including a headline set on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury as teenagers.
The trio's new album 'Race The Night' reached #14 in the official UK album chart, #3 in the official UK Independent chart and #5 in the official UK vinyl chart.
