‘Poor Advice’ puts Basht. on the map
Basht. have been attracting attention on both sides of the Irish Sea following the release of Poor Advice through LAB Records.
Produced by Ali Chant, whose previous work includes Dry Cleaning, Perfume Genius and PJ Harvey, the 10-track album has accumulated millions of streams. Singles including Kids Vs Guns, Terror TV, Keira Knightley and Perfume have also received airplay across BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Radio 1 and Radio X.
The record blends atmospheric guitars, intense vocals and darker lyrical themes, exploring everything from relationships and media distrust to institutional power and the influence of the Catholic Church.
The album has received strong reviews, with The Irish Times awarding it five stars and praising its intensity and political relevance.
A band with something to say
Basht. are made up of Jack Leavey on vocals and guitar, Lughaidh Armstrong-Mayock on lead guitar, Ryan McClelland on drums and Louis Christle on bass.
Speaking about Poor Advice, vocalist and guitarist Jack Leavey describes the album as a concept record examining the relationship between power and those affected by it. The band's lyrics explore the historical relationship between church and state in Ireland, alongside contemporary questions around political authority, conflict and the military-industrial complex.
Their distinctive approach combines sprawling guitar work and quieter, reflective moments with an intensity that has helped them stand out in the current alternative rock scene. With further UK and European dates planned for 2027, including a headline show at London's O2 Forum in April, Basht. are preparing for what could be a significant year for the band.
Their upcoming Irish dates will give fans the opportunity to experience Poor Advice live, with the Dublin show marking a major milestone in their home-country journey.
Basht. bring the ‘Poor Advice Tour’ to Belfast, Limerick, Cork and Dublin from 28th April to 1st May 2027.
