“The five-piece have been identified by music business insiders as one of the most exciting young rock bands to emerge in Ireland in eons”. “You can immediately hear that these guys know what they’re at,” Hot Press editor Niall Stokes said of the emerging act. “It is early days of course, but there are times when the first record is enough to set the pulse racing – and this is one of them. BASHT. also sound like a fine live proposition, made for a big festival stage. This really could be the start of something big." - Niall Stokes, Editor of Hot Press Magazine.
