Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , New Music , Exclusive Remember back in 2007 when Ash said they would never put out another album, yet, curiously, insisted they weren't breaking up? They meant it, man. If that confuses you, maybe today is your day to sort it all out. At 3PM ET, Wednesday, the band will participate in a real-time Q&A with fans, following a performance which will be broadcast...

In the wide world of promotional videos, performance videos are usually pretty hohum. They’re usually filmed as almost an afterthought, something record companies decide to video last minute because they need to come up with a promo video – and quick. So unless I’m really in love with a band, I usually can’t [...]

TIM Wheeler, diminutive frontman of venerable Downpatrick band Ash, is reflecting about their recent A-Z tour of Britain, which saw the trio venture into the kind of places rock groups usually avoid, including Loughborough and Ventnor.

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , Spinner Interview , UK The Corrib Rest in north-west London's Queen's Park has a slight claim to fame -- fans of the brilliant British comedy 'Spaced' might recognise it as the local where Tim, Daisy, Mike and company repair. This barn-like Irish boozer is something of a hub to this part of London's Irish ex-pat community --queue for an expertly-poured Guinness and...

Ash, then. Probably the best singles band of the last fifteen years, if we're honest. Meltdown was bigged up by everyone in Ash as being a departure for them to a heavier direction. It turned out that, of course, it was basically pop music with louder guitars and twiddlier solos than before. But Clones stuck out like a sore thumb from the rest - it was, as described by the band themselves, 'some heavy...

Last Tuesday night, Gloucester Guildhall, Ash: what a great gig! Instantly pushing past the queue and into the Fave Gig Fri front row. I don't know why I've never seen Ash live before, but as they were playing our local rock 'n' roll mecca, Glenn and I just had to get our asses down there to see Northern Ireland's finest do their thing. This was the 7th gig of their A-Z Tour, a series of shows taking...

Since releasing Twilight of the Innocents back in 2007, the Irish trio known as Ash has turned away from the conventional recording of albums to focus instead on releasing steady singles on their own schedule. This led to the creation of The A-Z series, a collection of 27-songs that will be released every two weeks for the next few months. The songs find Ash trying out new avenues and new sounds, but...

So, Aldershot does not have the glitter of Los Angeles, or the rock'n'roll heritage of Liverpool and London. What it does have going for it, as far as the rock band Ash were concerned tonight was that its name begins with A, making it a perfect location for the first gig of an eccentric A-Z tour of Britain. Though the band has sold millions of albums worldwide and can fill big venues in much larger...

It is unlikely that any rock star has ever drawn a comparison between New York City and East Grange. Yet that's exactly what Tim Wheeler – the singer, guitarist and creative force behind Northern trio Ash – does while discussing his four years of living in the Big Apple. "New York's a great place to make music, as you can find lots of brilliant engineers and technicians to work with,"...

Australian country rockers make a strong case for the vitality of the EP. At the very beginning of the rather wonderfully titled "I Had Something Good in My Life and I Didn't Want to Lose It", Craig Hallsworth's voice bears an uncanny similarity to, of all people, Ash's Tim Wheeler. Between the rather uncanny, aural spectacle of Wheeler fronting what is essentially a country-rock (used non-perjoratively!)...
