"Uncle Pat" was the third single Ash pulled from Trailer, put out in 1994 on Infectious Music on CD and seven-inch vinyl, and it's Tim Wheeler's song from top to bottom: he wrote it, sings lead and plays guitar and keyboards. Mark Hamilton covers bass and synthesizer, and Rick McMurray drums, bangs the percussion and adds backing vocals. Call it a punk-rock sugar rush.
It stalled at 101 in the UK, but it got a second life in a Heineken advert. The B-side, "Different Today", goes back to the band's "Shed" demo tape and also made the US edition of Trailer.
