No Hot Ashes Biography

A young band from the mountainous regions of Lincolnshire, originally formed in 2003 when Aston, Jo and Olly worked together to create the individual style and sound of No Hot Ashes. They were joined by, little but loud, drummer Jo in June 2004 and he has added his own inimitable style to the set.

Seeing is believing (and some of the stage antics take some believing). The live performance gets the house rocking and, having worked and gigged most weeks, NHA have developed and evolved into a tight unit of very exciting musicians and composers.

Their extensive fan base ranges from tiny Tina (5) and Mad Margi (74) and the new forum on the website is gathering momentum. To date the email fan base numbers exceeds 400 with more adding every week.



The seven track CD '11am', recorded in January 2004, has received critical acclaim with reviews from 'Gigs Unlimited' in April 04, The Standard in Feb 04 and BBC Radio Lincolnshire in June 04. The NHA style is best described as 'Modern' rock with influences from Muse, Hell Is For Heroes, Incubus and Lost Prophets.

'11am' has sold well at gigs and, even though the band sees those tracks as dated, Certificate U was chosen as a feature track at the recent Bearstorm A&R Road show in July 04.

The boys have enjoyed gigging, the best being Vibe 03 in front of 2000 moshing fans, Junktion 7 in Nottingham and The Park in Peterborough.

The release of the new single ' Heart Attack On My Efforts' is being launched during the 'Heart Attack' tour from Thursday August 19th to Friday September 3rd. Dates are currently being finalised.

'No Hot Ashes can rival any hot new bursting-onto-the-mainstream-scene band operating today and if the world isn't a great big meanie you'll be wearing their name on your shirt soon enough.'
Gigs Unlimited April 04

'Burn Bridges could be a top ten single tomorrow'. With good supporting vocals it shows a very different, tender side to the band. Aston manages to put mountains of emotion into this song.'
Andy Hubbard - The Standard Feb 04


No Hot Ashes Review By K Promotions

No Hot Ashes are becoming increasingly popular in the UK. There seems to be many reasons for this - excellent quality of music, incredible standard of musicianship and a host of handsome faces. The band are marketable to many types of audiences from the teenage rampage to the screech of innocent school kids to the arousing applause of appreciative 'mature' listeners. Musically, the band are a gem and a half; Ashton's vocal performances really are breathtaking - he can sing all the notes, in time, on time and in tune. He has a flawless, perfect voice that delivers the catchy No Hot Ashes songs in a justified manner. Equally, the guitaring excellence of Olly is a joy to listen to as he produces infectious hooks that sail through the songs with such ease that it makes you want to jump up and dance around your living room. In summary, the band are musically intelligent and edgy and are simultaneously marketable in every sense of the word. No Hot Ashes are one of the most promising bands to come out of Lincolnshire in a long while.
