    This is a truly great album. From the very opening Season, with fuzzed up guitars,and whirlwind rhythm, penned when wheeler was just 15! to the indie punk of Day of the triffids. The general sound of the album is more raw and a lot heavier than thei...r new material, Get out, Obscure Thing and Hulkhogan Bubblebath in particular. There are however early signs of Wheelers pop qualities, with the excelent singles Uncle Pat and Petrol. The rest of the album continues what Season starts, Jack Names the Planets Intense thing, differnt today and the slightly cheesy Punk Boy are some of the best 90s guitar music there is. Bye it now!

    Imagine classic punk maneuvers crossed with Nirvana and Dinosaur Jr.style leanings, goosed by a bolt of Mega City Four, and you've got this Irish trio's reference points. Such a blueprint sounds unimaginative on paper, but singerguitarist Tim Wheeler's relentlessly catchy confections stand up to the Britpop vanguard's finest hours. Not surprisingly, then, the band's recorded debut emphasizes strippeddown velocity over finesse. Such priorities aren't surprising, since the band began racking up U.K. indie chart hits before graduating high school (The original version of Trailer appeared in 1994, on Infectious Records.) Still, why quibble about Ash's influences, when the goods are so emphatically delivered? "Punk Boy" and "Jack Names the Planets" could give Green Day a run for its poppunk roses, while grungier tracks like "Hulk Hogan Bubblebath" stay heavy, without losing their melody. "Day of the Triffids," which references the similarly titled English thriller, points to the band's love... of all things extraterrestrial. The standout track is "Petrol," a characteristically deft exercise in softloud, startstop dynamics that points to the band's maturity which included second guitarist Charlotte Hatherley, layered harmonies, greater tracking of guitars, and even orchestration, if required. More than a decade after they formed in their native Belfast, Ash's rugged individuality remained intact; here's where it all began. Heavy guitar devotees shouldn't miss this one. - Ralph Heibutzki, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

Ash

Ireland's punk-pop trio Ash first formed in 1989 when childhood mates Tim Wheeler and Mark Hamilton got guitars for Christmas and established the metal act, Vietnam. Nothing more than something for kicks, Vietnam switched to Ash in 1992 as Wheeler (guitar/vocals), Hamilton (bass), and Rick "Rock" McMurray (drums) aimed to be something more serious. They shared a love fo... Read more
