2002 saw Ash tour with the likes of Coldplay, Moby (part of the Area2 tour), Dashboard Confessional, and Saves The Day. Ash also went out on their first US headlining tour in 5 years this past spring, selling out venues across the US. Now, with critical acclaim and a solid fan base already in tow, the table is set for Ash to break in the US. With so many things looking up for this quartet you begin to see that the "World Domination" they sing about on Free All Angels might not be so far from their reach after all. Look for Ash's new album on Kinetic Records in the Spring of 2004. |
