Not sure how many of you guys are fans of Ash, but their new album,

>Bob, I love the band...but you're in Scotland, right? Wondering if this is
>available domestically (heading to search web-wide in a second)

There's no US release at this time. Their US label, Kinetic Records, went 
belly a couple of months ago.
The band's official website says that their manager is still in negotiations 
with interested parties and the band is hoping for a US release later this 
year.
They played at Coachella last month ; can that be taken as a good sign too ?
I heard some of the new songs when they did a short headlining tour a year 
ago ("Evil Eye", "Orpheus')
I usually don't mind shelling out for an import but I might wait around this 
time. There's a radio feature on the band's website (www.ash-official.com) 
if you want get a preview of the new tunes. Heavier than Free All Angels but 
still catchy as hell :-)

Cheers,

Jennifer
