Ash had a hard time of it in North America, but in a sense they did better than they had any right to expect. Although none of them were even 20 years old yet, the members of Ash scored a minor hit with the lead single from their first album, 1977. “Goldfinger” did have the slight misfortune of coming out at the same time the band Goldfinger released their much higher-profile first single, meaning any mention of Goldfinger either got you a question about the Bond film or the American ska-punk band. Sorry, guys.

But weep not for Ash—after adding guitarist Charlotte Hatherley and working out the kinks on Nu-Clear Sounds, Ash finally reached the lower echelons of U.K. stardom with 2001’s Free All Angels. “Burn Baby Burn” attracted enough attention to merit that album’s release in the States as well.

“Shining Light” is more of a mid-tempo rock ballad, representative of the band’s slicker pop-punk sound. “Gabriel,” the b-side to “Shining Light,” showcases the opposite tendency: it’s five minutes of big riffs, guitar squeals and walls of noise and sound. It’s damned near anthemic, is what it is. Turn up the volume on this one.
