"Clones" fired the opening shot for Meltdown, the fourth album from Northern Ireland's Ash, going out as the lead single alongside a European tour and a UK club run. Tim Wheeler wrote it and sings it, and he and Charlotte Hatherley handle the guitars, with Hatherley also on piano and backing vocals, Mark Hamilton on bass and Rick McMurray on drums.
The band had road-tested new songs through 2003, then decamped to Los Angeles that October to cut the album at Sound City in Van Nuys and Chalice in Hollywood, with Nick Raskulinecz co-producing alongside them; Rich Costey mixed this one. Meltdown was Ash gone hard rock, critics hearing Black Sabbath and Metallica in the guitars, and "Clones" was its best-selling single, reaching 12 in Ireland and the UK top 40.
