BASHT

Bending Sound will host an Album Launch Event at the Empire Music Hall, Belfast to celebrate the debut release ‘Poor Advice’ from BASHT. This will be a live performance at the iconic Belfast venue. The Dublin four-piece channel the raw intensity of their live shows into Poor Advice, a bruising 10-track debut shaped by brooding post-punk, explosive guitars and emotionally charged songwriting. The album confronts power, control and inherited authority, tracing a line from Ireland’s historic entanglement of church and state to the corporate boardrooms and military machinery shaping the present. Produced by Ali Chant, whose credits include PJ Harvey and Dry Cleaning, Poor Advice captures a band turning personal and generational unease into something sprawling and visceral—challenging all the counsel handed down from above: keep your head down, say your prayers and trust the deal.
