Go on the lads! (and Charlotte)

Ash have been getting rave reviews as they travel round the States on Moby's Area:2 tour.

The most glowing critique comes from the Mobester himself: "I've been listening to Ash this morning. It's reminded me of just how excited I happen to be to have them on Area:2. For those of you who aren't familiar with them, well, they're great. They make great records and they're a really, really wonderful live band."

In the meantime, the video for Ash's new single, 'Envy', received its worldwide premiere at Witnness.

"They shot it in the States and have done a separate edit 'cause they know some stations are going to object to the scene of two blokes kissing," says a spokesperson.

'Envy' appears as a bonus cut on their Intergalactic Sonic 7"s 'Best Of' which is due in September.
