ASH ARE THE INDEPENDENT NUMBER ONE
The Independent has named Ash's "Candy" its Single of the Year and called Ash "band of the year" in the process. That's why those big newspapers are called The Quality Press.
The full review read:
Band of the year, Ash have bounced back with the Free All Angels album, three other singles and some fantastic live shows. Disguised as a warm, Walker Brothers-sampling ballad, "Candy" is a gripping self-examination about "pure as driven snow" powders rather than girls. The songwriting nous is matched by Tim Wheeler's honeyed vocals *****

Ash and COLDPLAY frontmen TIM WHEELER and CHRIS MARTIN got together for an impromptu show at a LONDON pub last night (January 27).
The pair played a brief acoustic set at Filthy McNastys, an Irish bar in north London that they both frequent.
During an informal lock-in, Wheeler played a number of Ash hits including 'Girl From Mars' and 'Burn Baby Burn'. Martin previewed an untitled new track, as well as belting out a few classics of his own, including 'Yellow' and 'Trouble'. The two then joined forces on a number of covers, including a few Rolling Stones songs.
Amongst the assembled friends and drinkers was rising British comedian and actor Simon Pegg.
As revealed earlier on NME.COM, Coldplay are flying through sessions recording their new album, the follow-up to the multi-million selling debut 'Parachutes'. According to manager Phil Harvey, they are working "at pace" in their London studio and have recorded five songs in four weeks. The album should appear at the end of this year.

"Hi everyone on Q4music.com
"Ash here. This June is actually Ash's 10th birthday. Yes, it's hard to believe, but we're rock veterans a decade old!
"Later this year we're gonna release a compilation called Intergalactic Sonic Sevens. CD1 will have all 19 singles we've released over the years - everything from our debut Jack Names The Planets to Burn Baby Burn, plus a brand new track, Envy.
"CD2, Cosmic Debris, will be a selection of tracks from all the B-sides and rarities we've racked up. We got well over a hundred of these gems, but we've short listed around 40 for you to vote from. Last year we got fans to vote online for which towns we visited on tour and it was a great success, so we reckon why not give you the opportunity to pick the track listing - it saves us from any in-fighting!
"Also, go to the official Ash website and check out our message board, where there'll be plenty of opinions of what should and shouldn't be included there.
"So what are you waiting for? Get voting!"
Ash
