Irish pop-punk rockers Ash have just kicked off their U.S. headlining tour in Seattle and will be hitting San Diego’s The Casbah on Saturday, 2/1.

Ash, now 20 years old, have been working on new material in New York City. The band’s last release, 2010’s UK-only A-Z Series featured 26 singles, with each song recorded and released every two weeks. The band will presumably showcase some of these songs on their current tour.

Lead vocalist/guitarist Tim Wheeler, bassist Mark Hamilton, and drummer Rick McMurray are known for cranking out songs that are high energy and melodic, with lots of guitar solos and great vocal harmonies. The band has been compared to Foo Fighters and Green Day.

Owl and Bear is giving away a pair of tickets to Saturday’s show. Visit our Facebook page to enter.
