There are at least three bands called Ash:

1) Well known rock outfit Ash first formed as a trio sharing a love for the raw british punk and crafted their musical talents to take the brit-pop scene by storm at the start of the decade. NME was swooning over these “teen punkers from Belfast,” and by 1994 Ash had signed to Infectious Records to issue the Trailer EP later that fall.

Their glossy youth was undoubtedly alluring, yet their Irish roots exuded a bit of an American flair similar to the likes of Pavement and The Lemonheads. They weren’t even out of high school before three singles hit the Top Five in the U.K. indie charts. A year later marked Ash’s full-length debut with 1977 and a deal with Reprise Records in the U.S. Named after the year they were all born (and in honour of the year Star Wars was released), 1977 displayed Wheeler and Hamilton’s full-fledged love for all things extraterrestrial and science fiction-related. Sharp guitar hooks and exact production work by Owen Morris (Oasis, New Order, Paul Weller) gained the bandmembers the fame they’d been wishing for since childhood. They were headlining major festivals — T in the Park, Glastonbury, Roskilde, and Reading — and playing countless club dates across the globe. In fall 1997, female guitarist Charlotte Hatherley was added to the all-male lineup, a definite change for the band’s sound and image and a step that led Ash’s fan base to expand into more of what the band had been looking for since the beginning.
