And So I Watch You From Afar return with new album
Gangs will be with us in May!
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 25 Mar 2011
After the sonic wall of sound that was their eponymous debut offering, Belfast instrumental rockers And So I Watch You From Afar have announced details of their keenly-sought second album.
Gangs will be released on May 2 on The Richter Collective and the 44 minute, eight song creation promises to be a colossal, celebratory affair.
To whet your appetite sample once more this golden nugget of riff explosion taken from the four-piece's debut.
