She was reportedly "asked to leave" the band back in 2006, after writing her first solo album ("Grey Will Fade", the subject of this review) - this ironically with the full support of the original trio.

Charlotte Hatherley is part of Ash and has released her own single and album out to start her solo carrer, The music is a lot like Ask in the sense she came from Ash, if you like songs like Kasabian or Blocparty which are very unique you will like these tracks, i doubt you will be disopointed :-)
Good luck buying, dont forget to post your review. ...
