Ash return with first new album in five years, Race The Night

Ash have announced a brand-new album, Race The Night.

Their first new record in five years, album number eight is due out on September 15 via Fierce Panda, and is described as ‘both a party with old friends and a message to leap into the present with arms wide open’ in the press release.

Of the newly-released title-track, vocalist/guitarist Tim Wheeler explains: “Race The Night is the sound of the band revelling in the sheer joy of being a band after being separated by time and distance through the insanity of the early 2020s. Lyrically it's all about seizing the crossroads moments in life with both hands. Take every chance as if it could be your last.”
