A BURIAL AT SEA (UK) // REVOLVER

ABAS is the experimental music project of Irish duo Patrick Blaney and Dara Tohill. The band have been labelled as progressive post- rock that draws from their influences of 90's shoegaze post- hardcore and Neoclassical.

Following the release of their debut EP in 2017 the band began were able to attract attention of the experimental music scene supporting genre-defining heavyweights Tera Melos and And So I Watch You From Afar. The band toured relentlessly across Europe from 2018-2019, often for months at a time, even once resulting in the hospitalization of a band member. The extensive tours included more high-profile shows including, an appearance at Bergmal Festival 2019 in Zürich, Post In Paris 2019 and Colossal in Copenhagen 2021.

The 2020 bombastic self-titled, released with Moment of Collapse, draws from everything from emo, to math-rock, to hardcore punk, and even black metal and is now available on all streaming platforms.

Since then ABAS have been busy with a recent adoption from the Pelagic family and currently working away on their second album.
