When they burst on the scene with their debut self-titled record, And So I Watch You From Afar were a revelation.

Frenetic math-rock influenced punk instrumentals with titles like Set Guitars To Kill, Start A Band and Don't Waste Time Doing Things You Hate were a wake-up call for the post-rock genre, and the band rode high on their unique sound.

Their fifth album, The Endless Shimmering, boasts some of their most grandiose, powerful riffing yet, so ahead of a summer tour of the UK and Ireland, we caught up with guitarists Rory Friers and Niall Kennedy to find out who their favourite players are, in no particular order...

And So I Watch You From Afar play 2000 Trees on 12-14 July 2018 - tickets are available now.
