20 years ago today on 5 October 1998, Northern Irish indie punk combo Ash released their second full length album Nu-Clear Sounds. It's available to listen to in full via YouTube below. If you enjoy what you hear, we encourage you to support the artists by purchasing their music from your local record shop, or through online retailers.
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.
