U2 Surprise Fans With Politically Charged Six-Track EP Days Of Ash

One of the world’s biggest bands has surprised fans with a powerful and politically charged new release. U2 have dropped a six-track EP titled Days of Ash, described as an immediate response to current global events and released ahead of the fourth anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The EP tackles themes of war, democracy, protest and human rights, and even features collaborations with Ed Sheeran and Ukrainian artist Taras Topolia. To unpack the music, the message, and what it tells us about where U2 are creatively right now, Alan Morrissey was joined by Clare FM's Brian Flynn.
