The current line-up of the group is as follows: Tim Wheeler (vocals and guitar), Mark Hamilton (bass guitar) and Rick McMurray (drums).
Ash's full-length debut "1977" was released in 1996 and followed 1994's mini album "Trailer". Named after the year they were all born (and in honour of the year Star Wars was released), "1977" displayed Wheeler and Hamilton's full-fledged love for all things extra-terrestrial and science fiction-related. In autumn 1997, guitarist Charlotte Hatherley was added to the existing trio. Hatherley was recruited from the band Nightnurse.
The new quartet's sophomore effort - "Nu-Clear Sounds" was released in 1998 to a mixed critical reaction. "Free All Angels" followed in April 2001, gaining a U.S. release in the following summer.
Meltdown, the band's first Stateside release for Record Collection, arrived in spring 2005. A year later, and after nine years with Ash, Charlotte Hatherley announced her departure from the band to concentrate on a solo career.

The first taster is free download Return Of White Rabbit, and the UK press loves it; a refreshing electro take on the unstoppable Ash formula, it suggests the ambitious new release schedule has revitalized the band.
The unique subscription service run from the band’s website and own label ‘Atomic Heart Records’ is kicked off with ballad True Love 1980 and is promptly followed by another Ash innovation, the A to Z Tour. The band embark on an alphabetical tour of the UK, a brave – if not foolish – trip around the British Isles from Aldershot to Zennor, bringing the Rock back to some of the nation’s lesser known music venues.

Jack Names the Planets
Ash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the gardens of sunlight home
Bad children on the phone
Withheld me to withhold you
Said I'd kiss you if you want
You've got things back to front
I got a letter, I sent it back
I didn't like It, what you had
Jack names the planets after you
When I turned you had gone away
So I didn't skip upon that day
Morose feeling, small mind
Don't touch it's face you might like its kind
Said I'd kiss you if you want
You've got things back to front
Don't mind your spelling, it ain't so bad
Things like that they never
Made me quite so mad as you
Jack names the planets after you
I wish you'd come back everything's ready for you
You are welcome if you plan to
You can come walking and you know where
You've got understand that you got to care
Said I'd kiss you if you want
You've got things back to front
My mother's dying I've got to go home
But there's more you won't be solely on your own
Jack names the planets after you
In the song "Jack Names the Planets," Ash describes the experience of living in two different worlds while simultaneously longing for someone's return. The imagery in the first verse is that of two people walking through a garden in broad daylight, with one of them talking to someone on the phone. The lyrics suggest that the person on the other end is restricting communication between the two walkers. The lines "Said I'd kiss you if you want/You've got things back to front" imply that there's a confusion of some sort affecting the relationship between the two.
The chorus of the song keeps referencing someone named Jack, who is apparently naming the planets after the person the singer is addressing. The second verse details the singer's longing for the other person who has now left them. The listener can feel the pangs of regret and isolation that the singer is experiencing. They wish that the other person would come back, and the song ends with a realization that they will not be entirely alone as Jack names the planets after them.
