In 1988 they recorded their debut album, ‘Feel No Shame’ which shot straight in the No.1 spot of the Irish charts and remained there for weeks. Within a couple of months it was certified Gold. During the height of their success in August 1988, with the option for their 2nd album already been taken up, Aslan split up amid huge press speculation, insinuation and hype. Five years and a day to the last time they gigged together (July 11th 1993), they reunited for a once-off charity gig in Finglas. The spark was reignited....They went on to release "Crazy World" which entered the charts at No.4 (their highest single chart position) and stayed in the charts for 3 months, becoming one of the most played songs on Irish Radio for the year. It also won the "Single of the Year" in 1993’s Hot Press Awards. They appeared on every major Irish T.V. show. A few months later, the follow-up single "Where’s The Sun" was released and reached No.3!

The latter part of 1994 was spent touring in Ireland and recording their second album, ‘Goodbye Charlie Moonhead’. The album was released in Ireland at the end of 1994 and became an instant Top 10 success and was certified gold. 1995 brought more touring, in America, England and Ireland, and the band began writing their new album. They also won the much-coveted ‘Best Band’ in the Smithwicks/Hot Press Awards. Two bands (one being U2) have only ever won this.

Aslan went into the studio in April ‘96 to record their new album ‘Here Comes Lucy Jones’ which was produced by Declan Sinnott (Mary Black, Moving Hearts etc....) Released in October 1997, the album went straight into the Irish charts at No.14. It was instantly acclaimed by national media as their finest work to date. Aslan were nominated in seven categories of the Hot Press Readers Poll for 1997.They were nominated for "Best Band" at the 1998 Heineken Hot Press Awards and also for Best Band in the IRMA’s.
