The Crimea Added To Ash / The Bravery Tour

Ash/The Bravery's U.S tour just got a hell of a lot better with the addition of The Crimea to the bottom of the bill. Yes, the band is fronted by Elvis Costello's son (and features former members of The Crocketts) but don't hold that against them; they've got some great pop-rock tunes. The bands debut album will be released in the U.S. in May. The Lottery Winners on Acid EP is available now.
