Basht. have earned themselves a devoted fanbase in the run up to their debut album, in no small thanks to taking their knockout live show on tour with the likes of DEADLETTER, Ever ything Everything and Wunderhorse, and featuring at festivals including The Great Escape, Truck, Supersonic Block Party, Liverpool Sound City, Dot To Dot, Live at Leeds, and Other Voices. Debut album from rising Dublin-based band, Basht. – via LAB Records. Poor Advice is a bruising concept album that traces the tangled wires between power and those crushed under it. Through 10 tracks, it maps the old dance between church and state in Ireland, where pulpits and governments traded sermons for policy and shaped a generation with guilt, silence, and obedience. It then pulls that thread into the present, following how moral authority has been outsourced to boardrooms and barracks, with the military industrial complex running like a grim metronome: conflict brewed, weapons sold, grief managed, contracts renewed. Poor Advice is the title because it’s all the counsel handed down from above: keep your head down, say your prayers, trust the deal. Show more
