"The Ash frontman tells Pat Carty how he now feels he suffered a burnout after their first album Anyone with any sense joins a band as a teenager and dreams big. Once reality lashes out a few kicks, the majority get on with their lives but that's not how it panned out for Downpatrick native Tim Wheeler."
"Having served time with the poorly-named Vietnam ("the worst band in Co Down"), he formed Ash in 1992 with school pals Mark Hamilton and Rick McMurray at the ripe old age of 15. It was Wheeler's blistering punk pop song writing that set them apart."

Tim Wheeler, a Downpatrick native, formed Ash in 1992 at age 15 with school friends Mark Hamilton and Rick McMurray after earlier playing in a band called Vietnam. Vietnam was described as "the worst band in Co Down." Wheeler's intense punk-pop songwriting became a defining feature that set Ash apart. Wheeler later experienced and now feels he suffered a burnout following the release of Ash's first album. The trajectory moved from teenage musical ambition through early band experience to rapid success accompanied by personal exhaustion.
