The idea of using a single band or singer-songwriter to score a film has fallen somewhat out of favor since the heyday of the 1960s/1970s, when films like "The Graduate" and "Harold & Maude" used the music of Simon & Garfunkel and Cat Stevens to echo and underline the on-screen action. But a few filmmakers, in conscious homage to those pictures, have given it a stab in recent years, with Badly Drawn Boy's work on "About A Boy" and the upcoming "Being Flynn," and Alex Turner's tunes for "Submarine" being among the more memorable examples.

Indie rockers Ash were formed in Downpatrick, Co. Down, Northern Ireland in 1992 and were originally a three piece comprising Tim Wheeler ( lead vocals and guitar), Mark Hamilton (bass) and Rick McMurray (drums). After selling over a million copies of their debut album ’1977′, and whilst touring with Weezer, the band felt that they were limited and needed another guitarist to create a fuller sound so asked Charlotte Hatherley to join.
Ash released their second album ‘Nu-Clear Sounds’ and although it achieved Gold status it failed to emulate their earlier success. The band toured non-stop and in 2001 after becoming almost bankrupt, released their third album ‘Free All Angels’, a title apparently taken from a t-shirt design worn by a hells angel and written in Wheeler’s parents garage. The album featured the singles Shining Light, Burn Baby Burn, Candy, Sometimes and There’s a Star and entered the UK charts at number...

"We knew what we said was quite shocking but we didn't think it would create waves that big," singer Tim Wheeler told Radio One. "Loads of people have copied us since, a lot of bands are saying they're going to do the same thing so it's been inspirational for a lot of people already." Ash debuted new (more)...
