The Northern Ireland trio—vocalist/guitarist Tim Wheeler, bassist Mark Hamilton and drummer Rick McMurray—will be on tour supporting the LP in the U.K. starting later this month. Ash will also be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week.

McMurray: A documentary by the wonderful people at Positive Money about how money/debt is created by private banks. And how we can regain control of monetary policy to create a fairer more equitable society. It’s a two-hour documentary on YouTube, and there are a couple of different ones. There’s also a Positive Money edit that’s only an hour long. It kind of explains the whole financial system and sort of busts a lot about it as well. In society, there’s this view that if you get a loan from a bank, you’re taking other people’s savings. But it’s a different case these days with the computerization of banks. They make money up, and I think a lot of people misunderstand that. It’s really a very fascinating documentary that taught me quite a lot about how the financial world works, and it ties in a lot with politics as well, which has been quite high on my agenda in the past few years.
