Album - Adebisi Shank
Along with the Redneck Manifesto, Adebisi Shank have, over the past decade, spearheaded the instrumental rock scene in Ireland that spawned the likes of Bats, Enemies, and the juggernaut that is ...And So I Watch You From Afar.
All of these acts, and more, were housed under the Richter Collective label, really making it seem like this was a happening, a move away from the stereotypical, dreary folk singer to a band that actually wants to have fun. But Richter has been gone for two years now, with the US label, Sargent House, stepping in to provide a home for some of these acts, including Adebisi Shank and ASIWYFA, whose last album, though winning them plenty of new fans and continuing their endless tour, swapped heavy riffs for a cluttered, alt-pop sound.
