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.

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.

Punk Boy
Ash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who's that boy with the honey face, looks like he should be sedated
He's all smash and grab in his adidas tags, wound up and agitated,
And I bet he's not a real punk boy
Bet he's not a real punk boy, bet he's not a real punk boy
Do rain clouds scatter and fall
Do you feel yourself sigh when he passes you by
Or do you grow a hundred feet tall
D'you go bang shang alang, every time you see him
D'you go bang shang alang, every time you're near him
D'you go bang shang alang, every time you hear him
If you don't he's not a real punk boy
If you don't he's not a real punk boy
If you don't he's not a real punk boy at all
Who's that boy with the ocean green eyes
In rough trade every Saturday,
Don't he look cute in his eighties track suit
I wish I hadn't thrown mine away
And I bet he's not a real punk boy
Bet he's not a real punk boy,
Bet he's not a real punk boy at all
Do stars explode when he walks you home, on a cool and clear evening
D'you wanna put him on like your favourite song
Or never wanna hear him
D'you go bang shang alang, every time you see him
D'you go bang shang alang, every time you're near him
D'you go bang shang alang, every time you hear him
If you don't he's not a real punk boy
If you don't he's not a real punk boy
If you don't he's not a real punk boy at all
The song "Punk Boy" by Ash, featuring Helen Love, is a peppy and upbeat tune that reflects on the classic image of a punk boy. The lyrics are essentially an evaluation of the singer's crush on a guy who appears to be a punk boy. They are fascinated by his looks, demeanor, and behavior. He wears Adidas tags and an eighties track suit and hangs out in rough trade shops on Saturdays. However, the singer doubts whether he is an authentic punk boy. The song suggests that the true punk boy is only defined by certain characteristics, including a heart that goes boom when he walks in the room, an ability to evoke both admiration and intimidation, and a general sense of edgy energy.
The lyrics are playful and fun, typifying the youthful exuberance and carefree attitude of punk rock, as well as its anti-establishment values. Through catchy and light-hearted wordplay, the song reminds us that sometimes, in matters of the heart, appearances can be deceiving, and that the process of falling in love is all about the thrill of the chase.
