Ash are an alternative rock band that formed in Downpatrick, Northern Ireland in 1992. The media originally pegged Ash's music as Britpop when the band first found mainstream success. They have had a devoted following since the mid-90's.
The band at the time of the release of Twilight of the Innocents announced with their future releases that they would be ditching their album format and releasing individual singles, this format could begin around March 2009, with the band currently back in studio working on the new tracks, bassist Mark Hamilton stated in an interview with 'Noize Makes Enemies' "we’re just taking track at a time and seeing what happens, no limits to where or what it’ll sound like. A few of the songs are barely recognisable as Ash which is pretty exciting to see how people react when they hear them." After performing two shows dedicated to the bands album "1977" at London Roundhouse on Friday 5th September 2008, and then London Astoria for the following day the band have said their is a possibility of a similar style shows, particularly for the bands album "Free All Angels".
