Ash continue phase two of their A-Z singles series with the release of letter Q – Binary – on May 24th.
Driven along by a monster electro groove Binary is the seventeenth single in the series and follows the likes of classic Wheeler heartbreak in the shape of War With Me, the 3 minute gem Ichiban and a tale of humanity lost, Pripyat.
To celebrate hitting the half way point in their A-Z series Ash will release a compilation of singles A-M on April 19th. A-Z Vol 1 is also available in a limited edition CD/DVD format, featuring A-Z Tour diary filmed last autumn.
Ash hit the road again in April for dates around the UK. With the Electric Ballroom on May 4th now SOLD OUT a second London date has been added at Koko on May 6th. Russell Lissack from Bloc Party joins them on guitar and keyboards for the duration of the tour.
