Another dip back into the unseen vaults of sessions that were never seen until now. For this session, we ventured out of our studio and headed about thirty blocks south in New York City to Atomic Heart Studio. This is the place where Tim Wheeler, Mark Hamilton and Rick McMurray of Ash make all the musical magic happen. At the time of this session, the guys were in the midst of recording and releases their latest project, The A-Z series. Between the dates of October 12, 2009 and September 27, 2010, they would release a total of 26 new songs every two weeks as downloads. (They would also be released on 7″ singles and CD as well).
Tim, Mark & Rick were generous enough to play several songs for us, both from this collection and some of their past catalog. I also sat down with them after the session to talk about this year long project. Here are the videos for five songs, including a cover of The Undertones’ “Teenage Kicks”.
