Ash Kablammo!

2015, Blazing out of the blocks with two and half minutes of pure power pop, Ash return with ,,Cocoon", the first single from their latest studio album KABLAMMO! ,,Cocoon" marks a wall of guitars and a shot of adrenaline with a sweet melodic chaser. The title itself - ,,Kablammo!" - sums up the excitement Ash felt ´to be in a room together making new music. You can hear that on every song`. And this renewed enthusiasm for playing together is writ large over the album's 12 tracks, the ´in your face quality` which has made Ash one of the UK's best -loved bands. ,,Shutdown" takes us back to the trio's roots. Its scrappy, teenage punk spirit sprinting hand in hand with a sweet ´90s nostalgia and a three-line chorus destined to raise your pint into the air. Elsewhere, ,,Dispatch" rides a college rock wave. Wah-oos and guitar dips that explode into a head-crashing power-chord shred, all the while bumping up to hooks so big we're singing along before we know all the words.
