“ These guys are the real McCoy.” - Sargent House 2013 Tour Lineup

And So I Watch You From Afar, also known as ASIWYFA, was formed late in 2005 and went through a couple of member changes. The current members are Jonathan Adger on Bass, Rory Friers on Guitar, Niall Kennedy on Guitar, and Chris Wee on drums.

I recently had the chance to witness one of their numerous live performances in Montreal when they were on tour with TTNG and Mylets. Being natural performers, they deliver a live experience that is as intense as it is organic.

Northern Ireland’s Indie Prog-Rock quartet, And So I Watch You From Afar play a sold out Islington Assembly Rooms in London on 1st May. Verdict? Utterly Awesome!

“ASIWYFA’s performance is full of energy”

A few days ago, I finally caught up with Rory Friers from the band And So I Watch You From Afar. The band is from Northern Ireland, so I have been watching them from afar. He was able to answer a few questions despite the time difference. ASIWYFA, as they are often called, has a new album, Heirs, and a new tour this year. Currently, they are my favorite instrumental band of all time. If you give their new album a chance, they might be your favorite instrumental band of all time also. Keep reading to find out if you’ll become a fire-breathing dragon. I’m just saying, anything is possible.

1. What was your inspiration for the new album?

It pretty much just came down to just wanting to make better music. The idea of making new songs or an album is an inspiration in its self really. Each time we get to put something new into the world its exciting, it’s a chance to say something louder than we would ever have had the chance to if not for the band.
