Wash originate from the surf beaches of Tauranga and are now based in Auckland. For eight years they have been working together to develop their own distinctive sound - fat analog synths pump, and rock guitars drive rap and melody over a foundation of heavy grooves and solid beats. Described as Nu-rock, the sound derives from rapcore and rock.
In 1996, the first EP titled 'Sandjacket' was released. It was produced by the band, and the 8 songs were recorded at Villa Studios in Rotorua.
Wash first debuted in the Official New Zealand Top 40 Albums on 24 September 2000 with the album Epilogue. There is one entry by Wash in the charts.
