And So I Watch You From Afar are a four-piece rock band from Belfast, Northern Ireland. The band consists of Rory Friers and Niall Kennedy on guitar, Johnny Adger on bass and Chris Wee on drums. They wrote and released two albums and three EPs with former member Tony Wright who now performs under the pseudonym VerseChorusVerse. They write largely instrumental music with group vocals in parts; Friers now writes a lot of the music, but they arrange and contribute to these songs in the rehearsal room as a three-piece to make them into finished songs. They are signed to Richter Collective, and in October 2011 the band announced a deal in North America with management and record label Sargent House, who released Gangs on November 8, 2011.

Their self-titled debut album was named the 6th best album of 2009 by Rock Sound.More is coming

At the end of August 2011 one of the four founding members, Tony Wright, left ASIWYFA.

In August 2012, the band embarked on a 5 city China tour organised by Beijing and Shanghai based company Split Works.

On July 7, 2014, ASIWYFA began recording their fourth studio album. The album, called “Heirs” was released on May 5, 2015. It is one of the 19 records nominated for the IMPALA Album of the Year Award.
