You may have been led to believe that it is indeed the end of Ash...it's not!The band follow their headline appearance at this Reading / Leeds festival - Radio 1 / NME stage - with the release of 'End Of The World' on September 10th. The track, the third from their recent ‘Twilight Of The Innocents’ album is another aural salvo from the mighty armoury penned by Tim Wheeler and already proven a favourite on the band's recent sold out four night residency at London's Koko.The beguiling vocals underpinned with the snap, crackle and pop of a rhythm cascading outta of the speakers including some guest beat box improv suggests that Ash still have the knack of hitting all the right notes. Stay tuned...Meanwhile the band play:October 20th Liverpool Carling Academy 21st Bristol Carling Academy 23rd Nottingham Rock City 24th Newcastle Carling Academy 25th Sheffield Octagon 27th Birmingham Carling Academy 28th Glasgow Barrowland 29th Manchester Academy 31st Leeds University
