From DJ Pogo: "Now, I know all of you uber Anglophiles imported the disc months ago, but 'Meltdown' finally came out in the U.S. last week. Thanks to the good folks at Filter Magazine for providing LOTS of fun ASH stuff to give away, including full-lengths, and CD samplers!! Come check out some of the new ASH tunes (they rock) and grab some free stuff!" Panic happens every Wednesday night at Smartbar, next to the Metro, located at 3730 N Clark, Chicago.
