History[]

On March 27, 2021, WACK announced that a new group, ASP, had been formed. Initially the members faces were hidden until they reached 20,000 followers on Twitter. Eventually after the gradual reveal of their faces the members were confirmed to be former Carry Loose member Yumeka Nowkana?, former Wagg trainee Naayu, Nameless and Mog Ryan.[2] They released their debut studio album, Anal Sex Penis, on May 26.[1] Their first single, "The Man Calling", was released on September 22.[3] Naayu left ASP on November 24 due to a worsening foot injury.[4] During Naayu's final live show with the group, ASP introduced twin sisters, Matilder and Wonker, as new members.[5] They released their second studio album, Placebo, on January 5, 2022.[6]
