"Basht. Announces Debut Album and Tour Dates"

Rising Dublin band Basht. has just released their electrifying new single “Terror TV,” a taste of what’s to come from their highly anticipated debut album Poor Advice, set to launch on October 9 through LAB Records. This latest track follows their earlier singles “Keira Knightley” and “Perfume,” showcasing the band’s knack for weaving gripping narratives within pulsating soundscapes.

“Terror TV” dives into the chaotic nature of contemporary life and the overwhelming barrage of information that defines our daily existence. Vocalist Jack Leavey describes the song as a commentary on the “endless loop” of conflicts seen through screens, examining how it affects our collective sensitivity and understanding of reality. The track combines quick-paced post-punk elements with impactful lyrics that reflect on the fickle nature of politics and society’s socio-emotional exhaustion.

The band has been steadily building a loyal following, thanks in part to their riveting live performances as they tour with prominent groups like DEADLETTER and Everything Everything. Additionally, Basht. has been featured in several major festivals, including The Great Escape, Truck Festival, and Other Voices, escalating their presence in the music scene.

Produced by Ali Chant—known for his work with Dry Cleaning and PJ Harvey—Poor Advice promises to offer a raw and poignant exploration of themes surrounding power dynamics, societal pressures, and personal stories shaped by external influences. The album is described as a concept piece that navigates the impact of historical and contemporary issues on individual lives.

Fans can catch Basht. live at various upcoming events across the UK and Europe. Their itinerary includes high-profile festivals and headline shows, with tickets available for dates in Sheffield, Glasgow, and London, among others. Notably, their October 29 concert at Gorilla in Manchester is already sold out, underlining the excitement surrounding their debut album.
