One unbelievable year for And So I Watch You From Afar
COLERAINE band And So I Watch You From Afar have had the most incredible year of their lives.
2009 has seen the band take the world by storm since releasing their debut album in March. It has been an amazing journey for the four piece, touring constantly, playing to a jam packed Ulster Hall and being listed in end of year Album Polls throughout the country.
The band is made up of Rory Friers (guitar), Tony Wright (guitar), Johnny Adger (bass), Chris Wee (drums).
This certainly is only the beginning, on the eve of their new EP ‘Letters’ and recording their new Album 2010 promises to take ASIWYFA to a whole other level.
Other bands talk about it, And So I Watch You From Afar do it.
In 2009, ASIWYFA played a mammoth 170 gigs all over Europe - from extensive tours in the UK to opening Pukkelpop festival in Belgium in front of 4500 captivated people to Novarock festival in Austria, gigs in Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine and Russia.
Everything about ASIWYFA is gargantuan. Their critically-acclaimed, self-titled debut album released in 2009 is exhibit
A. From the iron-clad riffs to the pummelling crash of the cymbals to the palpable positivity of the music, it's
everything great rock (never mind just instrumental rock) music should be.
Even the song which take in titles like 'Set Guitars To Kill', 'Clench Fists, Grit Teeth... GO!' and the ASIWYFA practice what you preach mantra 'Don't Waste Time Doing Things You Hate', are epic in scale.
Filled with monstrous guitars, bulging rock histrionics and genuinely breathtaking moments, And So I Watch You from
Afar is easily one of the best records of 2009.
ASIWYFA are a band that are only going to get bigger and more inspiring. Expect a new EP - Letters in February 2010
and a second album in the first half of the year.
