Wheeler and Hamilton formed the band in 1989.Ash's first single on Infectious, "Petrol," was released in August 1994, immediately gaining glowing press and
radio reaction. It shot up the indie charts to Number 5 and was quickly followed by the single "Uncle Pat" and the
mini-album Trailer in October of that year (later incorporated into their Reprise Records debut, also titled Trailer).
With a main support slot on the Elastica UK tour, Ash was quickly established as one of the brightest new bands
in England Ash earned a nomination as Best New Band in the 1995 NME BRAT awards.
Their single "Kung Fu" was voted Single of the Week in UK trades and
Smash Hits and shot to Number 1 in the independent charts, staying in the Top 10 for six weeks and becoming
Ash's first UK Top 75 hit. (All this occurred while Ash was still in school, and Infectious had to promise that the
single wouldn't enter the Top 40 before the boys finished their studies.)
