Ash release their ninth studio album Ad Astra on October 3rd via Fierce Panda Records, and share lead single 'Give Me Back My World'.
Containing eleven brand new tracks, including their raucous take on surprise single and ‘Beetlejuice’ staple ‘Jump In The Line’, Ad Astra sees Blur guitarist Graham Coxon appear on two particularly sassy songs and catches the perennial power-pop kings in especially rocket-fuelled form.
Ad Astra follows hot on the heels of 2023's Race The Night (the band's highest charting album for 20 years), being released two years and one month later, and this is no coincidence. Ever the band who live for live music, Ash vowed that the fierce pandemic-induced five year chasm between [2018 album] Islands and Race The Night would never happen again.

STAFF COMMENTS
Barry says: BOOM, not only do one-time Idlewild bring back the 90's with a brand new album, but their one-time tour buddies Ash grace our turntables once again. Ad Astra sees the band in fine form, perfectly crafting crunchy guitars and Wheeler's soaring vocals into instantly recognisable melodies. Lovely.TRACK LISTING
