History Music / ASH

Their style can be generally summed up as {{Britpop}} with elements of {{Grunge}}, PopPunk and PowerPop, although recently they've been experimenting with {{NewWave|Music}} and synths.

** "Get Out", from ''Trailer'',' ends in a short burst of high pitched noise: over two decades after its release, it was discovered by fans that, when played backwards and slowed down digitally, the noise revealed a full song - specifically, an alternate version of "Intense Thing", a track from earlier in the same release.

* PunBasedTitle: ''Nu-Clear Sounds''. "Skullfull of Sulphur". Also, the name of their first album, "Trailer", is a {{visual pun}}. As a matter of fact, its cover shows a toppled trailer.
