Following the recent announcement of their career retrospective collection of tracks, \u2018Teenage Wildlife: 25 Years Of Ash,\u2018 the Irish trio are pleased to share a brand new video montage for Petrol<\/em>. The track, originally released in 1994, was part of the early triumvirate of classic singles – alongside Jack<\/em> <\/em><\/strong>Names The Planets<\/em> and Uncle Pat<\/em> – all of which were included on the band\u2019s mini-album \u2018Trailer\u2018.

Written by the band\u2019s primary songwriter, singer and guitarist Tim Wheeler – one of a batch of songs composed whilst in his mid-teens and still at school \u2013 the nascent trio were invited on tour by Elastica for their first major dates across the UK, including a debut show at London\u2019s Astoria Theatre that was to be witness to some of their finest moments over the years.

An early live favourite, Petrol<\/em> <\/em><\/strong>still retains its place in the band\u2019s live set whilst proving to be a mere dip in the ocean in terms of what Wheeler and Ash would later attain in terms of Top Ten singles and Number One albums. Whether as the original three-piece or as a quartet, with the addition of guitarist Charlotte Hatherley in 1997, the track remains pivotal in the band\u2019s career and this montage includes original footage of the band from that period and the anticipation of what was to come\u2026
