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.

Ash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Always and forever I’ll love only you
Just promise me darling your love in return
May this fire in my soul dear forever burn
My heart’s at your command dear to keep love and to hold
Making you happy is my desire, keeping you is everything of my goal
And I’ll forever, ever, ever love you the rest of my days
I looked at the face of the clock on the wall
But it doesn’t tell me, it takes time but it doesn’t tell me nothing at all
Face of the clock just stares at me, yeah
It knows I’m lonely, how I am, and how I always will be
I want to cry, cry my heart out
I want my baby back with me
There’s nothing but time to give out
Time doesn’t mean anything to me
Oh, if you hear me, come on back real soon, baby
Because this clock and I, oh, yeah, we’re so lonely in this room
Oh, lonely, lonely, lonely in this room
When I get at night, baby, so lonely in this room
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, so lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely in this room
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
