Irish rock outfit ASH will release their latest album, Meltdown, on March 8 in the US via Record Collection. With the album already certified Gold in the UK, hopes are high that the band, which has a long history of success overseas, will finally break out domestically. To help matters, the band has just announced plans for an extensive spring tour in support of Meltdown. NYC’s next big buzz band, The Bravery, will be onboard as well, ensuring that this will be one of the best tours of the spring season.
The trek kicks off in Philly the day after Meltdown hits shelves and wraps on April 13 in Toronto, although more dates are expected to be announced. Both bands will also be stopping in Austin, TX, to take part in various SXSW activities.
