It’s fair to say that most of these lists for 2026 will contain the name of Basht. (always followed by the full stop). Described in the Irish press as “one of the most exciting young rock bands to emerge from Ireland for aeons,” and this, for once, is not damning them with faint praise. Their second EP ‘Bitter And Twisted‘ saw them starting to become muttered by those in the word-of-mouth know, with lead track, the blisteringly moody ‘Vain’ capturing hearts. Their particular sound feels like being battered around the head sonically. But in a good way. They are gonna be massive.
