    ASHRR – “What’s Been Turning You On”

    L.A.’s ASHRR have just released a new advance on their sophomore album. If in late January, we were presented with, arguably, the big hit in this record –  the incredible “Fizzy” (QRO review) – now we get a new short, warm and direct single, “What’s Been Turning You On”....

    ASHRR – “Fizzy”

    There is a reason why I wrote this review two weeks after the release of the single: If you write about something, it is not wrong to wait a bit for once, savour it and find pros and cons (yes, there are pros and cons). Unfortunately for years, journalism...

    After many months of working on their sophomore record and lengthy discussions about a strategy to follow and God knows what else, good news came during summer: L.A. wonder trio ASHRR finally have a home to release their second work, in the shape of 20/20 Vision Recordings, a British...

    ASHHR – “No Garden”

    L.A.’s ASHRR are working hard to release some new tracks in anticipation of their forthcoming second record, due to release later in the year. Apart from the string of indie rock tracks we delved into in past reviews (“Dark Eyes”, “Same Way”, and “WAVES”), the first two singles of...

    ASHRR – “Bad Reasons”

    Sometimes, the road to a new record can be long and tedious, like watching a sausage dry until we can eat it. Reasons for that vary: being a total perfectionist, utter lack of inspiration, changes in the band’s lineup, a pandemic… Your pick. Thus, when songs start shaping up...

    ASHRR – “Sunshine Low”

    In 1997’s U2: A Year In Pop, bassist Adam Clayton said something among the lines of “Nothing wrong would happen if we keep trying new things. On the contrary, things will go south if we keep doing the same thing.” A good band, whether you like their music or...

    ASHRR – “Same Way”

    L.A.’s ASHRR have kept very busy during the last year and a half, releasing a string of singles we have covered here at QRO. After “WAVES” (QRO review), “Dark Eyes” (QRO review), and “Otherside” (QRO review), on Friday, November 12th, they have released “Same Way”. The song follows the...

    ASHRR – “Otherside”

    When you happen to be in a very creative environment, it is very difficult to stay still. The current pandemic situation has become a challenge for those to overcome when you have ideas you want to express. We have seen many cases in the last year of musicians trying...

    ASHRR – “Dark Eyes”

    In the ‘80s, when Mark Burgess’ band The Chameleons ended most of their gigs with their angry and sometimes hysterical cover version of Alternative TV’s “Splitting In Two”, the Mancunian singer chanted, “We’re living in strange times,” a reference to their third record (Strange Times), but also a recurring...
