AND SO I WATCH YOU FROM AFAR, forkortet til ASIWYFA, har holdt koken siden 2005. Gutta fra Belfast debuterte med et minialbum 2007 utga med minialbumet “This Is Our Machine And Nothing Can Stop It”, tett oppfulgt av en EP-en “Tonight The City Burns” sammen med vokalist Cahir O’Doherty (Fighting With Wire, Jetplane Landing) og Johnny Black (LaFaro).

ASIWYFA er genuint
Everything about ASIWYFA is gargantuan. Their critically-acclaimed, self-titled debut album released in 2009 is exhibit A. From the the iron-clad riffs to the pummeling crash of the cymbals to the palpable positivity of the music, it’s everything great rock (never mind just instrumental rock) music should be. Even the song which take in titles like ‘Set Guitars To Kill’, ‘Clench Fists, Grit Teeth… GO!’ and the ASIWYFA practice what you preach mantra ’Don’t Waste Time Doing Things You Hate’, are epic in scale
