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”

Over & Out Song Lyrics
Over & Out by Ash Strike a blow, start the show
Ripping up the rule book, here I go
Voice of doom from the tomb
Bringing up the bad vibes in the room
Right on cue, coming through
Careful, all you wish for may come true
Every lie that you try
Each of your mistakes will never fly
Every strategy you can't deny
All consigned to history
Well come on
Your intentions were never in doubt
It doesn't matter to me now I'm over and out
Fake or true, see right through
Every step I'm miles ahead of you
First to crack, lose your track
You can't trust yourself so watch your back
Slave to hate, it's your fate
No surprise, you always take the bait
Off your game, crying shame
As your fantasy goes up in flames
You've had all your fifteen minutes fame
Burning up your majesty
Well come on
Your intentions were never in doubt
It doesn't matter to me now I'm over and out
Ascendancy's what you're all about
It doesn't mean a thing now I'm over and out
Now you're getting careless
I've seen it all before
You're just an everyday two faced liar
Fighting a p**sing war
You're from a screwed up perspective
So get on out of town
You're following some sinister directive
It's gonna bring you down, down, down
So come on
Your intentions were never in doubt
It doesn't matter to me now I'm over and out
Ascendancy's what you're all about
It doesn't mean a thing now I'm over and out
Aw yeah
It doesn't mean a thing now I'm over and out
It doesn't mean a thing now I'm over and out
