For those that haven’t heard it yet, Ash’s new single ‘Polaris’ is now available to hear on-line on the bands official myspace.

In other Ash news there is a new interview with Ash drummer Rick McMurray up on the official website. Rick talks about what the band are up to at the moment, the recent tour of Germany, plans for the rest of May and the next single ‘Polaris’.

“It’s probably the most piano-driven thing we’ve done. I’d hesitate to call it a ballad, cos I think it’s a bit more upbeat than that, but it’s very anthemic, with lush, orchestral strings. It’s a great song.”

Head over to the KIK MySpace site where you can download their awesome electro punk remix of Ash’s track ‘Meltdown’ and best of all you can download it for free, head over there now.

You can now download a high quality mp3 of Ash’s first new material in over 2 years, ‘I Started A Fire’, and best of all it’s completely legal and free. This is intended as a sneak preview of the bands new album due in July.

Ash have revealed that contrary to what people seem to be assuming ‘I Started A Fire’ will be a free download, and not a charged download like ‘Clones’. It is intended as a free sneak preview track from the new album, a gift from the band to the fans. Ash have also revealed that there is also a video for the song which the band made in rehearsals, that will be released online at the same time.

If you can’t wait till Monday, the track is also exclusive for a week to the NUS website where if you have paid £10 to get the NUS Extra card it is available to download now, simply log in and download. It’ll be freely available on Monday 19th Feb from the official Ash website.

Ash, alongside fellow artists Fun Lovin Criminals, Starsailor and Faithless are among the bands whose performances at July’s Witness festival in Ireland are available for download at the www.wemblytv.com website.
