Ash To Release Cover Of Teenage Wildlife

A real life adventure…

Ash are due to release their cover of David Bowie’s 1980 classic, Teenage Wildlife, as a bonus track on their A-Z Vol.2 CD on October 11th.

It’s a brave move considering the DB original is probably in the top ten favourite Bowie recordings of the majority of David’s fans.

However, Ash pull it off with great style and it’s a wonderfully faithful version, save for a slight tempo change and the substitution in the lyric from David to Tim.

Front man Tim Wheeler delivers a great vocal with no attempt at aping the Bowie original, though his magnificent guitar playing is pretty close.
