En 1992, en el pintoresco pueblo de Downpatrick, Irlanda del Norte, se enciende una chispa en el corazón de tres adolescentes. Tim Wheeler, Mark Hamilton y Rick McMurray forman Ash, una banda que rápidamente se hace notar en la escena local. Desde su temprana edad, los tres amigos comparten un auténtico amor por el rock y el punk, influenciados por bandas como Nirvana, Pixies y Teenage Fanclub. La pasión por la música y la energía juvenil les lleva a crear su primer EP “Trailer” en 1994, marcando el preludio de algo mucho más grande.
En 1996, Ash lanza su álbum debut “1977”, titulado así en honor al año de nacimiento de Wheeler y a la premier de Star Wars. El álbum recibe críticas entusiastas y comercialmente logra un éxito arrollador, llegando a encabezar las listas del Reino Unido. Sencillos como “Girl from Mars” y “Goldfinger” se convierten en himnos generacionales, representando el sonido fresco y la energía pura de la banda.
En 1997, la dinámica del grupo cambia con la incorporación de Charlotte Hatherley como guitarrista y vocalista. Su llegada añade una nueva capa de complejidad a la música de Ash. Con Hatherley a bordo, lanzan “Nu-Clear Sounds” en 1998, un álbum que experimenta con sonidos más oscuros y maduros.
A pesar de su temprano éxito, la banda enfrenta varios desafíos. “Nu-Clear Sounds”

Confessions In The Pool
You've come to save my life
You've come to calm my fears
You've come to ease my mind
You've come to catch my tears
You've come to pick me up
You've come to turn me round
You've come to show me love
You've come to bail me out
You've come to set me free
You've come to stop the slide
You've come to steady me
You've come to turn the tide
You've come to put me right
You've come to get me high
You've come to make me smile
Confessions in the pool, isn't life cruel
Wonder what we're doing playing by these rules
What could we have done to deserve this misery
Drowning in these tears, drifting on the sea
Confessions in the pool, isn't life cruel
Wonder what we're doing playing by these rules
What could we have done to deserve this misery
Drowning in these tears, drifting on the sea
I've got the morning blues
You've got the golden touch
I've got a shattered heart
You've got the healing love
You've got belief in me
You've got the remedy
You've got the words I need

Drowning in these tears, drifting on the sea
Hey!
Come down to Miami
We'll get wild and play
On the bay
Say, forget about this heartache
We can let our pain sail away
(Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Mi-Miami)
