What their label says...

ASIWYFA ARE OF THE INSTRUMENTAL POST-ROCK ILK, BUT PUT AWAY YOUR CHILDISH MOGWAI COMPARISONS: THEY ARE FAR FROM BEING A FLAT-PACK CLONE. WE GET PROG, AUTOBAHN-CRUISING RHYTHMS, FLITTING FIREFLY GUITAR AND JAZZ ODYSSEY IMPROV. SONGS SUCH AS 'I CAPTURE CASTLES' AND 'THE MACHINE' ARE OMINOUS CAVALCADES OF SOUND, THE RIPPLING PERCUSSION AND PRIMAL RIFFS RELENTLESSLY BATTERING THE LISTENER. ADORED BY PLACES LIKE DROWNED IN SOUND (RECENT 9/10 LIVE REVIEW), BBC ACROSS THE LINE (10/10 CD REVIEW), KERRANG ("THEY CAN DO NOTHING WRONG"), ETC., AND WITH THEIR FIRST BBC RADIO ONE SESSION FOR HUW STEPHENS ALREADY UNDER THEIR BELTS, THE BAND LOOK POISED TO GO ON GREAT THINGS. THEY ARE CURRENTLY NME.COM'S GIG OF THE MONTH AND HAVE JUST COME 23RD IN ALTERNATIVE ULSTER MAGAZINE'S 40 MOST HOTLY-TIPPED BANDS, VOTED FOR BY VARIOUS TOP BROADCASTERS, PROMOTERS, MEDIA, ETC, WITH THE BAND GETTING THE "NUMBER ONE EVENT TO GO TO THIS MONTH" IN THE SAME ISSUE.
