Ash Set to Release Special Edition Triple-Vinyl Package in the US this November Featuring 26 Singles From Their Famous A-Z Series

Band Announces US Tour Dates to Coincide with A-Z Release;
Kicking Things off with Weezer in Florida Before Heading up the East Coast for Headlining Dates

New York, NY – Ash ring in their 20th anniversary as a band this year with a Special Edition Colored Triple-Vinyl US release of their famous A-Z Series this November through Noyes Records. The A-Z vinyl edition will include a card to download the digital version with bonus content and the entire A-Z Series will be made available via all Digital Service Providers for the first time in the US. Just watching them on stage, it’s hard to believe Tim Wheeler, Mark Hamilton and Rick McMurray have been making music together as Ash since 1992. “We were all 15 when we started, so we still feel like a very young band,” Wheeler marvels today. “It almost doesn’t make sense that we’ve been around for so long!” The original three piece will also hit the road in the US to coincide with the A-Z release, kicking things off with Weezer in Florida for several dates before heading up the East Coast for several headlining dates. This will be the band’s first US tour in more than five years.

From their earliest gigs on the Belfast club scene, Ash built a rep for churning out punk-fueled power pop with a harder edge than the ubiquitous Britpop of the day. Their first official single, “Jack Names the Planets,” won them quick recognition in the UK; two years later, the British press was near-unanimous in its praise for the platinum-selling 1977, which led to a supporting slot with Weezer and their first trip to the states. (The self-funded film Teenage Wildlife, narrated by actor Ewan McGregor, documents the riotous escapades of that insane year on the road.)

By the end of the ’90s, guitarist Charlotte Hatherley had joined the band, and in 2001, they had another UK hit on their hands with “Shining Light,” from the number one album Free All Angels. After 2004’s moody Meltdown, Ash stripped down to a trio again and took up residence in Manhattan at their newly minted Atomic Heart Studios. Twilight of the Innocents, the band’s fifth full-length studio album and last for a major, really made Ash rethink the way they were releasing music and found them wanting to break away from the album-tour-album cycle they’d been in with their recording contract.

“That’s where the idea for A-Z came from,” Wheeler says, describing the band’s daunting mission to record and release a new song every two weeks for a year. Starting in May 2009, Ash delivered “Return of White Rabbit”— the precursor to what was to follow, 26 straight singles, now collected for the first time in this special edition triple-vinyl package being released in November. “We needed to find a challenge, so this was it,” Wheeler observes. “It’s almost like being an athlete in training. We got into a good flow, and it was a really creative time because of that. We never ran out of ideas. They just kept coming.”

Bloc Party guitarist (and longtime Ash fan) Russell Lissack joined Ash on tour in 2010—one of several lineup changes that has kept things exciting for Wheeler, but now that the original trio is back in form, he’s looking forward to playing their first high-profile US dates in seven years. Fittingly, they’re kicking off with a short string of shows opening for Weezer, followed by a headlining stand at New York’s Bowery Ballroom.

The Invisible Way

So Blue

Low - So Blue

From practicing in their family shed as teenagers in rural Australia, to touring the world with Fleetwood Mac, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, King Tuff, and King Gizzard, it’s been a strange trip for the four Findlay sisters. As Stonefield, they’ve got three albums and thousands of miles under their belts, plus plenty of perspective on what it’s like to fight to make a place for themselves, and tell their own story.

Written largely on the road in America earlier this year, the songs on BENT are filled with reference and reflection--the kind that comes from months spent far from home, living on four wheels. The surreal isolation of trudging through white-out snow and snaking down deserted highways served as the perfect backdrop for the band to look inward, taking stock of the journey they’ve taken thus far as musicians, and as people. “It’s a culmination of experiences, emotions, and stories collected over time,” explains lead singer and drummer Amy Findlay, “A growth of honest, raw, energy that has been burning within us and waiting for its moment.”

Recorded in just five days with Joe Walker and Stu Mackenzie from King Gizzard at their studio in Melbourne, the album is almost 100% live. Besides being an impressive feat and the flexing of a confident band operating at the height of their powers, that immediacy lends the album a distinct, crackling energy--thunder, lightning, and muscle-bound horsepower. “Sleep” opens the album with guitars covered in five inches of sludge and distortion and something that sounds like a far-off siren, or the high-pitched howling of the wind. It serves as a warning, a call to arms, kicking things off with a next-level version of the massive, unholy racket the band has become known for over the course of their last three albums. 

The sonic inspiration taken from listening to Black Sabbath, Beak, Deep Purple, The Alan Parsons Project, and Mike Oldfield inject BENT with its sternum-shaking heaviness and ever-present swagger, but also its exploratory fearlessness--letting the songs loose to twist and turn, sticking to no one’s rules but their own. Take the proggy, keyboard-soaked intro at the top of “People,” or the cheeky combination of tinnitus-inducing hard rock and hip-shaking boogie at the core of “Dead Alive.” “Don’t make me think I’ve lost control / I know exactly what you said / Don’t make me think it’s in my head,” Amy sings during the latter, keeping the lyrics as defiant as the music.

“The album is about our own experiences and stories,” explains Amy, “Songs about the fear of walking home alone at night, stories of what it’s like being an all-female band and the power of supporting one another." With that being the lyrical subject, the music that came out is definitely our heaviest.” It’s clear that darker thoughts were on the Findlay sisters’ mind-- “Route 29,” with its suspenseful synth intro was inspired by the creepy The Route 29 Stalker podcast the band was listening to as they drove the namesake road on their way to a gig with King Tuff, and the cascading synth line and slinky restraint of the hi-hat on “If I Die” can only distract so much from the song’s terror-stricken lyrics.

BENT has all the chills and spills you would expect from an album that mines inspiration from some of the darker experiences of being misrepresented, belittled, and underestimated. By taking control of the narrative, and pumping it up with stack-blowing, guitar hero riffs and razor-edged vocals, it becomes an album of power, control, and confidence--projected in the face of a world that too often forces the opposite.
