Ash biography, Ash discography
Ash in Tempe, Arizona, March 2005.Ash are an alternative rock band that formed in Downpatrick, Northern Ireland in 1992.Initially inspired by Twisted Sister and Iron Maiden in the early 1990s, Wheeler and Hamilton formed a heavy metal band called Vietnam with a few school friends.Requiring a drummer, they had a few drinks with McMurray who was a year ahead of them in school and had switched from playing the guitar to drums.Early 1990s
Ash officially formed in 1992.They created three demo tapes that year, Solar Happy in June, Shed in September, and the Home Demo in November.These tapes featured their earliest material and the first recordings of some songs that were later on their 1994 release, Trailer, including "Intense Thing", "Get Out", "Obscure Thing," and their future single, "Jack Names the Planets".In 1993 Ash recorded the Garage Girl demo tape, which featured "Jack Names the Planets" and "Intense Thing" taken from Shed, as well as some new tracks including "Petrol".Following Garage Girl, they released their compilation demo tape, Pipe Smokin' Brick later that year, which featured an assortment of their best songs from the other 4 demo tapes.Downpatrick Musician Ray Valentine recorded Ash's demo's at his studio, Cosmic Rays.Ash's moniker at the time was "Genuine Real Teenagers" because they were so young when recording their early material.The demo tapes had not gained much attention yet and Ash were still playing small shows at local clubs, but in early 1994, Stephen Taverner came across the Garage Girl demo tape.Ash released their mini album, Trailer, in October 1994, which only included seven songs.They received some airplay from Steve Lamacq on BBC Radio 1 and so followed up their debut single with "Petrol", and "Uncle Pat" on their new label Infectious Records.In 1995, Ash left school and released their breakthrough singles "Kung Fu", "Girl From Mars" and "Angel Interceptor".On 17 February 1997, Ash released Live at the Wireless, a live album, recorded at the Triple J Studios in Australia.The UK fans could buy a limited edition CD of it on the band's own Deathstar label.As a result they recruited Charlotte Hatherley who had previously been with the band Nightnurse and she made her gig debut at a few small gigs a week before appearing at the V festival in 1997.Cameron Diaz film of the same name.Stephen Taverner attached to the video said, "I've killed Bambi".Ash nearly became bankrupt as they prepared to release possibly their last album.The single "Shining Light" was released in January 2001, followed by the number one album Free All Angels in April.Subsequent singles released from Free All Angels were "Burn Baby Burn", "Sometimes", "Candy", and "There's a Star" .In 2003, it was leaked to the music and tabloid press that Ash were working on a horror film described as a 'teen slasher'.The film called 'Slashed' was shot while the band were on tour in America but some scenes were also shot in the UK.Other star performances include that of Moby, James Nesbitt, Dave Grohl and Ash themselves.The film was much hyped due to the celebrity performances but it was never generally released to the public and is now currently being held in storage.Rumours circulated that certain scenes were too gory and would not be suitable for Ash's audience, but it was also said that Chris Martin vetoed its release due to scenes of him running around in his boxer shorts, covered in blood, fighting demons which may have been detrimental to his new celebrity status.On 29 June 2004, Ash released Meltdown."Meltdown" and "Orpheus" are featured on the popular British movie, Shaun of the Dead as well as appearing on the ingame soundtrack for the video game Burnout 3: Takedown.Also featured is their cover of the Buzzcocks song "Everybody's Happy Nowadays" featuring Chris Martin on backing vocals.An official statement reads: "After 9 years Ash and Charlotte Hatherley have mutually agreed to part company.On 6 June 2006, NME reported that Ash were in a New York recording studio and had twenty seven "rough" songs.No shows were planned for the remainder of 2006, but Wheeler says Ash are hoping to test out their new songs "in tiny New York bars" once the album is completed.The tour is of small clubs nationwide and calls at Preston, Newcastle, Glasgow, Norwich, Liverpool, Sheffield and Southampton amongst others.Southampton, Keele, Sheffield, Exeter, Warwick and Kings College London amongst others.On the 19 February 2007 Ash released the first song from their new album, which was announced as being called Twilight of the Innocents.The music video for "You Can't Have It All" debuted on MTV Two on 11 March 2007.Other singles are "Polaris", "End of the World" and probably "Twilight Of The Innocents", as Tim said on an interview at the band's site.On 12 June 2007 Ash revealed that Twilight of the Innocents would be their last album.They however denied that they were splitting and instead stated they would only release singles from now on as "The way people listen to music has changed, with the advent of the download the emphasis has reverted to single tracks".Look up Ash in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.This page was last
