艺人介绍

Ash成立于1989年,两个童年伙伴Tim Wheeler和Mark Hamilton得到吉他作为自己的圣诞节礼物,他们因此成立了金属乐队Vietnam。最初他们除了寻欢作乐什么也没做,直到1992年Vietnam改名为Ash,队员包括吉他手兼主唱Wheeler,贝司手Hamilton和鼓手Rick "Rock" McMurray,三个年轻人决心做点成绩出来。他们都很喜爱粗糙的英国朋克the Buzzcocks,并一起致力于将他们的才能释放在九十年代初的英国流行舞台上。NME对这些“来自贝尔法斯特的十几岁小朋克”的出现感到惊喜。1994年Ash和Infectious Records签约,并于同年秋天推出了EP《Trailer》。

Ash are a Northern Irish alternative rock band, formed in Downpatrick in 1992 by vocalist and guitarist Tim Wheeler, bassist Mark Hamilton and drummer Rick McMurray. As a three-piece, they released mini-album Trailer in 1994 and full-length album 1977 in 1996. This 1996 release was named by NME as one of the 500 greatest albums of all time. After the success of their full debut the band recruited Charlotte Hatherley as a guitarist and vocalist, releasing their second record Nu-Clear Sounds in 1998. After narrowly avoiding bankruptcy the band released Free All Angels in 2001 and a string of successful singles.

Their fourth record Meltdown, released in 2004, was the band's final record with Hatherley before returning to their original three-piece lineup for their fifth studio album Twilight of the Innocents in 2007. After five conventional albums the band released 26 singles in The A-Z Series in 2009, one every two weeks. The band have had one silver, two gold and two platinum-selling (and chart-topping) records in the United Kingdom, as well as 18 songs in the top 40 of the UK Singles Chart. In 2015, they released a sixth studio album, entitled Kablammo!. They were associated with Britpop, though as that musical movement emphasised Britishness which is a controversial state in Northern Ireland, they were not comfortable with the association.
