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”

Here she comes walking across the sand
She'll never know how she blows my mind
She's there with the chemicals in my brain
Spinning softly round my head
I'm gonna give in, I'll never change my mind
I feel it now, tonight is the night
And why should I try to resist
When it's calling out to me
Calling out to me
She's blowing my mind
She's always blowing my mind
She's blowing my mind
She's always on my mind
The autumn and the winter have been and gone
Half the time I never knew what was wrong
I never noticed I was feeling down
It just went day by day
She'll never know how she turned it round
She'll never know how she blows my mind
It was a long time coming to me
I'm gonna outshine every star
She's gonna make it through
She's blowing my mind
She's always blowing my mind
Look in my eyes
She's always on my mind
I won't be able to help myself
Falling in love with her
I have all the time in the world
The answer was always there
Why should I try - try to resist
When it's calling out to me
She can take my heart or pay the price
She's the sweetest thing I've ever known
Here she comes walking across the sand
She'll never know how she blows my mind
She's there with the chemicals in my brain
Spining softly round my head
I'm gonna give in, I'll never change my mind
I feel it now, tonight is the night
And why should I try to resist
When it's calling out to me
Calling out to me
She's blowing my mind
She's always blowing my mind
