Hailing from Dublin, Basht. deliver a tense, gritty mix of post-punk and alternative rock, driven by sharp guitar riffs, pounding rhythms and the raw, restless vocals of frontman Jack Leavey. Their sound shifts between brooding, atmospheric passages and explosive bursts of distortion, with plenty of melody cutting through the noise.

Since forming in 2021, the Irish four-piece have built a reputation for their intense live shows, sharing stages with the likes of Wunderhorse, DEADLETTER and Everything Everything.

Following their acclaimed EP Bitter and Twisted (2025), BASHT. released their debut album Poor Advice in October 2026. Produced by Ali Chant (Dry Cleaning, PJ Harvey), the record tackles power, religion and personal conflict with equal parts anger and vulnerability.
