She is also known as the former guitarist and backing vocalist in the rock band Ash. Currently she's performing under the alias Sylver Tongue.
Before her days in Ash, Hatherley was playing in the obscure punk rock band, Nightnurse, from the age of 16. They received moderate success, and Ash frontman Tim Wheeler was present at one of their gigs. She was later recruited as the fourth and final member. Her first album with the group was 1998s Nu Clear Sounds where she provided lead guitar for all tracks and also wrote the song WildSurf which appears on the album.
Apart from this, Hatherley mainly contributed to Ash with soulful guitar and some backing vocals, co-writing the odd song with Wheeler. The title track from Hatherley's first solo album, Grey Will Fade had previously been featured as a B-side to one of Ash's singles. The rest of the band had liked the song, yet felt it wasn't consistent with Ash's sound, and supported Hatherley when she decided to record her own album. This debut album, relased in 2004, has more than proved her songwriting ability. The three singles, Bastardo, Kim Wilde and Summer all received high praise from critics, as well as the album itself.
The videos to the tracks Bastardo and Summer were directed by her ex-boyfriend, Edgar Wright, who is best known as the director of the film "Shaun Of The Dead", which incidentally featured two tracks from Ash's fourth album proper Meltdown, the title track and Orpheus.
On January 20th 2006, she announced her departure from Ash, to pursue her solo career further.
Her first material since her departure from Ash came in the form of the Behave EP which featured tracks from her second album and was released on December 18 2006 on two formats - 7" vinyl and digital download. The EP featured the title track Behave as well as other tracks from her second album including Cousteau and Mr Ed.
Her second album, The Deep Blue, was released in March 2007 on her own label Little Sister Records which was founded by Charlotte together with her manager Ann-Marie Shields. Between this and the release of her 2009 third solo effort, New Worlds, she played with Bat for Lashes as a touring guitarist, and has played bass with Client since December 2007.

Charlotte Hatherley Lyrics
He looks so good, my honey to me
Everything I want everything I need
We got a good thing going,
Feeling in my heart should only keep on growing
Too good to be true
Checkered love got me thinking of
All the mess I made, just a ton of trouble
Always left bad blood
When I was a kid in America
Pulling it apart
Can I keep it under control?
I could never keep my eyes on the road for long enough to know, oh
Ain't it true, always looking out for something better than you choose
Pulling it apart
A siren for you baby
Taking over now I feel you
Taking over now I want you
Lying on a bed of roses
In a sea of broken arrows (you can do it you can make it happen)
I can feel my honey, oh yeah!
Don't fall under my wheels
Run over, just like a juggernaut
Oh yeah! send his body back to me
Jump-start heart, now don't fall apart
I gotta get it right, so tell me
Killer what you got?
Don't wanna blow it 'cause I know just what
I hold in my hands
Parted lips never tell me to go
I wanna do you right, never be another like you I know, oh
Ain't it true, always looking out for something better yeah you are
Pulling it apart
A siren for you baby
Taking over now I feel you
Taking over now I want you
Lying on a bed of roses
In a sea of broken arrows (you can do it you can make it happen)
I can feel my honey, oh yeah!
Don't fall under my wheels
Run over, just like a juggernaut
Oh yeah, send his body back to me
Pick him up and sew him up and send him to me
Fix him up and shake him up and send him to me
Pick him up and sew him up and send him to me (pulling it apart)
Fix him up and shake him up and send him to me (pulling it apart)
Taking over honey I can feel it in me (send him back to me)
Fix him up and send him to me, yeah!
Ain't it true, always looking out for something better yeah you are
Pulling it apart
Baby, taking over now I feel you
Taking over now I want you
Lying on a bed of roses
In a sea of broken arrows (you can do it you can make it happen)
I can feel my honey, oh yeah!
Don't fall under my wheels
Run over, just like a juggernaut
Oh yeah, send his body back to me, me, me
Oh baby, taking over now I feel you, oh yeah!
Don't fall under my wheels
Run over, just like a juggernaut
Oh yeah! Send his body back to me

sirstrongbad
I hadn't realized until now that she actually performed with Kim Wilde on her comeback album in 2007 on a new(er) version of Kids In America... guessing by this song that must have been a big kick for her.
TheAlistairDick
Intelligent pop. Ignored. Too good for some
marcelajohjoh
Som do caralho!!!!!

Love the album this was culled from! Never been a fan of the disposable Kim Wilde, but this song is a fantastic fan girl nod from Charlotte.
Romy Igoe
@Lucy Anna Well yeah, she was hardly in the same league as say, Poly Styrene for instance.
