* OneOfUs: Considering all the {{Shout Out}}s in the titles ("Luther Ingo's Star Cruiser", "ProfessionalWrestling/HulkHogan Bubblebath", "Darkside Lightside", "Day of the Triffids") and lyrics... yeah, this trope applies. Also, they hired PatLee to draw the cover of ''Intergalactic Sonic 7's'' and are allegedly Weezer fans.

They can also be distinguished by their love of ScienceFiction, especially ''StarWars'' (their breakthrough album ''1977'' was named in honour of the year ''ANewHope'' was released; the first sound on that album is a TIE Fighter, and the last song ends with a choral version of the ''StarWars'' theme) and the fact that they were in their teens when they created the band.

Ash is an AlternativeRock band started in 1992 in [[StrokeCountry Northern Ireland]]. Its lineup consists of:

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

Not to be confused with [[EvilDead that other]] [[{{Anime/Pokemon}} Ash]] or ''Literature/AshASecretHistory''.

* SingingVoiceDissonance: Lead singer Tim Wheeler affects an American accent on many songs, especially on those from the album "Meltdown". In interviews, though, he often switches back to his normal Northern Irish accent.

* LyricalTic: "Woah"s and "ooh"s can be found in... Well, pretty much in any Ash song.
