One to watch out for... No Hot Ashes

Manchester's very own funk extraordinaire's should be something to keep your ears peeled for in 2016. 

Sometimes music does the talking for you. This is most certainly one of those times and if you haven't already tasted a bit of NHA you need to get with the proverbial program. Flying round the local scene (and further a field) with such bands as Kashmere and Plastic House, NHA are building a sound of their own and new fan base to match. This is definitely one of those "get into them before they get big" moments.

Lets talk about the tracks...

We're going to focus in on two tracks that we feel exemplify their funk/rock sound. November 2014 brought to us Goose. A floor filler if there ever was one, something to bust some shapes to whilst keeping your Gazelles in check. A proper funky tune full of aspiration and only a seed of what they have to offer.

Smooth (no bits) is lyrically gritty and another one to enjoy whilst bopping around the tiles with your mates. It's a bouncy, head twister with some lovely funk lead guitar. The anti-establishment/conflict retoric that young boys and girls can relate to ("munchin' on a salad cos' the man on tele told you to") make them a progressive group with attitude and a sound unique to themselves.

Where can you find them?

Best place to find out news on these are their twitter page (@_NoHotAshes) and they're regularly promoted through @MrPeepsSays.
In terms of gigs, their next gig is on Sunday 20th December at The Grove in Hazel Grove (across from The Rising Sun)
, Stockport. Should be a cracking night and I believe there will be some media attention down there.


They're really ones to watch out for in the new year so get on board before it gets cool and you'll be able to tell your mates "No Hot Ashes.. yeah I knew them before they were big"...
