ASH. release the first of their A-Z singles on the 12th of October.

You can see the video for the first single here:


Rising to the challenge of the creative Everest that is a 26 single campaign, with True Love 1980 Tim Wheeler has delivered a typically monumental piece of pop; tapping into Ash's trademark hooks and three piece dynamism, while reveling in the possibilities of their groundbreaking studio project. True Love 1980 follows the critically acclaimed free download single Return Of White Rabbit dropped earlier this summer… Where Return of White Rabbit showcased angular guitars and growling basslines, True Love 1980 delivers a perfect slice of Back-To-The-Future synth pop balladry from Ash's hit writing engine room.
