And So I Watch You From Afar are a four-piece rock band from Belfast, Northern Ireland and are signed to Sargent House records. Their third album ‘All Hail Bright Futures’ could be taken as both an ethos for the album and the band at this point in time.
Continuing the unparalleled pace at which they’ve been touring for over five years now, ASIWYFA have taken their uplifting sound to places other bands could only imagine. Since the release of 2011’s second album Gangs, the band have added China, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus to their already considerably stamped passports. As well as these far-flung, seldom played places, the band have gigged all over North America and Europe, bringing their total show tally close to 500.
A band can’t play 500 shows worldwide without a fanbase and ASIWYFA have a legion. And you can’t build a legion of fans across the world without great songs. Gangs earned the band a second Choice Music Prize nomination for Irish Album of The Year 2012 and they recently signed to Sargent House worldwide (home to Omar Rodriguez Lopez, Boris, Fang Island, Chelsea Wolfe and more) for management and label – which will release the band’s third album All Hail Bright Futures in March 2013.
