There's a bunch of new Irish music available to stream and/or download for free this week. Having just released volume 2 of the A-Z Series, Ash are now offering a song called 'No Heartbreaker' as a free digital download ahead of Saturday's gig at London's Shepherd's Bush. The song comes as part of a three track digital EP which also features songs from support acts The Crimea and The Lines. All you have to do to get it is give them your email address over at www.ash-official.com

Meanwhile Choice Music Prize nominated instrumental rockers And So I Watch You From Afar have released a brand new song 'Straight Through The Sun' and all they're asking in return for the download is a plug on Twitter. Go to smalltownamerica.co.uk to 'Pay By Tweet' from Monday November 15th. In the meantime you can listen to it below.
