Northern Irish rock band NO HOT ASHES are finally set to release their debut album 34 years after the band first formed.
Formed in 1983 the band were influenced by UFO, Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake, Journey, Foreigner, Thin Lizzy and other Classic Rock and AOR bands of that era they quickly started writing, performing and recording their own songs. The band put out their first single, ‘She Drives Me Crazy’ in 1986. In the eighties the band supported bands like Mama’s Boys, Magnum, Girlschool and Steve Marriot and his Packet of Three.
Performing what can be described as Classic Rock with a Contemporary twist they have been delighting new fans over the last four years with their hook laden, guitar and keyboard driven, melodic classic rock songs.Since 2014 NO HOT ASHES have supported Aerosmith, Foreigner, UFO, and Scorpions to name a few and had a UK tour with FM and Romeos Daughter. They have also played, and been very well received, at major festivals like Hard Rock Hell AOR, Download (Donington), London Calling, Ramblin’ Man, Steelhouse, Rockingham, and Frontiers Records Festival in Milan.
The band are currently preparing to hit the road in support of their eagerly anticipated debut album called ‘NHA’ with shows already planned for late spring and summer 2018.
Unfortunately for the band the pleasure of releasing the album is tinged with great sadness as founding member, bass player and friend, Paul Boyd tragically lost his brave battle with cancer in January 2017. Paul appears on the album and the band are respectfully dedicating it to Paul’s memory.
