No Hot Ashes - No Hot Ashes

Vinyl LP pressing in gatefold sleeve. Northern Irish rock band No Hot Ashes are finally set to release their debut album 34 years after the band first formed. Formed in 1983 the band were influenced by UFO, Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake, Journey, Foreigner, Thin Lizzy and other Classic Rock and AOR bands of that era they quickly started writing, performing and recording their own songs. The band put out their first single, 'She Drives Me Crazy' in 1986. In the '80s the band supported bands like Mama's Boys, Magnum, Girlschool and Steve Marriot and his Packet of Three. In early 1988 the band signed a record deal with GWR Records joining Motorhead, Girlschool and Hawkwind on the roster of talent, recording their first album later that year. By this stage the band had moved to London to be closer to the record company. Unfortunately, with problems in getting the album released, by late 1990 the band had called it a day. That should have been it but in September 2013 No Hot Ashes reformed for a one off tribute gig which snowballed. Performing what can be described as Classic Rock with a Contemporary twist they have been delighting new fans over the last four years with their hook laden, guitar and keyboard driven, melodic classic rock songs. Since 2014 No Hot Ashes have supported Aerosmith, Foreigner, UFO, and Scorpions to name a few and had a UK tour with FM and Romeos Daughter. They have also played, and been very well received, at major festivals like Hard Rock Hell AOR, Download (Donington), London Calling, Ramblin' Man, Steelhouse, Rockingham, and Frontiers Records Festival in Milan.
