ASHTONES

But it's better to leave the mike to Bowy from the Pits'team: "A She-Devil is my Dope fiend" review (Up Yours/January 2007).. "Way more close to home comes the first vinyl output by the North French garage rats,THE ASHTONES. A unit led by skinny,razor-edged skin & bones vocals who looks and sounds as he's really been places and done all kinds of things you'd better not dare dream about. I mean he doe'nt only display credibility: he fuckin' IS...

Hellfire and…Paradise Falls Nicotine I wish I had a lyric sheet because nobody brutalizes English quite like the French do. It’s awesome.

Con quasi una decade di carriera gli Ashtones si dipanano tra stili che costituiscono una garanzia sonora come Dead Boys e Ramones. Un suono ruvido e bello sporco nella classica tradizione street-punk quello degli Ashtones, che propongono una selezione di ben quindici brani tra i...

aandag 8 mei: Santa Rocka Rolla - Ashtones: Sinds Planet Trash een plaatsje heeft ingenomen op MySpace komen er met enige regelmaat verzoeken tot het recenseren van platen van volstrekt onbekende bands binnen. Het prettige van MySpace is dat je heel snel kan checken of de muziek een beetje in je straatje past. Alhoewel de plaat al een hele tijd uit is vond ik geen enkel bezwaar om een stukje te schrijven over de plaat van de Ashtones uit Lille. De Fransen hebben hun band genoemd naar de...
