Poor Advice was produced by Ali Chant (PJ Harvey, Perfume Genius), Basht. will be performing material from the record during a live set for BBC Radio 1's Future Artists show tonight, Monday November 9.

Hot Press gave it a 7.5/10, saying it is "the sound of a band deciding how many of the moral guidelines they were raised with are worth keeping."

Vocalist and guitarist Jack Leavey gives an insight into the LP.

"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."

Basht. comprises Leavey (vocals and guitar), Lughaidh Armstrong-Mayock (lead guitar), Ryan McClelland (drums) and Louis Christle (bass).

Tickets for their Irish dates go on sale on Friday, November 13, at 10am here.
