Ash

It’s been a rough year for the boys from Downpatrick, Ireland, but it appears that a move to NYC for two of them (singer/guitarist Tim Wheeler and bassist Mark Hamilton) has reignited the fire that burned so fiercely in them a decade ago. Bouncing back after the departure of their guitarist Charlotte Hatherley, they’re once again a trio, and this brand new song confirms that it’s back to the good old days of "three boy hardcore action” once again. Still standing by a heavier guitar attack, Wheeler packs the melodies with plenty of punch, using a harsh yet nonetheless syrupy vocal. If this is any kind of preview to what’s in store for their forthcoming sixth album, then fans are in for a real treat.
