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 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.

Physical World
Ash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come back to the physical world
You're lost in the digital world
You're lost in the digital world
Let's make a real connection
New love, true perfection
Something so meaningful
So...
Come back to the physical world
Come back to the physical world
You're lost in the digital world
You're lost in the digital world
Something so mesmerising
Our two hearts colliding
That you can't emulate
On your own
So...
Come back to the physical world
Come back to the physical world
You're lost in the digital world
You're lost in the digital world
Come back to the physical world
Come back to the physical world
You're lost in the digital world
Come back to the physical world
Ash's song "Physical World" is a plea for real human connection in a world that is becoming increasingly digital. The repeated refrain, "Come back to the physical world" is a call to arms, urging listeners to abandon their screens and experience the world in a more tangible way. The lyrics suggest that despite the allure of the digital realm, something essential is lost when we rely too heavily on technology to connect us with others. The song makes a case for the importance of face-to-face interaction, arguing that there is something uniquely mesmeric and meaningful about two hearts colliding in the same physical space.
The lyrics of "Physical World" are particularly resonant in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, during which many people have been forced to rely almost exclusively on digital means of communication. The song speaks to a deep human need for connection, and acknowledges the ways that isolation can erode our sense of self, leaving us feeling lost in a digital world. Ultimately, however, the song offers hope, suggesting that by embracing physical connection, we can rediscover aspects of ourselves that have been lost in the digital realm.
