Editor's note

Ash, the Northern Irish power-pop band

Formed in Downpatrick in 1992, they broke through with 'Girl From Mars' and kept making guitar records.

If you want the classic Ash sound, start with 'Girl From Mars' and 'Uncle Pat'. They frame the band's mix of power-pop hooks and straightforward guitar energy pretty well.

Their 1996 debut '1977' landed right when guitar pop needed some fresh energy, and 'Girl From Mars' gave them an international foothold with its spacey lyrics and sticky hooks. Songs like 'Uncle Pat' and 'True Love 1980' show they never lost that knack for a three-minute rush. They've put out eight studio albums through 2020's 'Valhalla', maintaining a steady output without chasing trends.

They formed in Northern Ireland in 1992 and released '1977' in 1996. The single 'Girl From Mars' broke through the following year, and they followed with albums like 'Nu-Clear Sounds' and 'Free All Angels'. Later records included 'Meltdown' in 2004 and 'Kablammo!' in 2015.
