Ash - Usual Places (Fierce Panda)
Release Date: Out Now
I think I might have been guilty of writing Ash's comeback off as a bit of a gimmick or extra pay-day but, based on their last single and this release, I am very, very wrong. 'Usual Places' is a proper indie-rock song full of beefy guitars and perky drums all sewn together with those trademark vocal harmonies. The twist now, of course, is that Ash are that much older so there is more to write about, more wisdom and more nostalgia but still the same amount of energy - which their going to need based on that tour schedule. Ash are back...if they ever went away.
