Ash’s ninth studio album ‘Ad Astra’, 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.
