Infectious, driving, Velvet Underground style rock from Ash, released 20 years ago today on 21 September 1998. It reached number 15 in the UK singles chart.
After the teenage trio rose to fame during the Britpop years with their energetic pop punk, they recruited additional guitarist Charlotte Hatherley in 1997 and became a four piece. They returned in 1998 with their second album Nu Clear Sounds, a darker, heavier more melancholic record. Something they had in common with many other indie groups at the time. 'Jesus Says' was the album's first single.
Following from the release of this year's Islands album, Ash will be touring the UK in October.
