  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    'The Foreign Game' is the debut LP from Cork post punk power trio Ash Red. They continue to evolve their signature dark, bass-heavy post-punk sound with this impressive full-length outing. It captures Ash Red at a peak of creative evolution, blending jagged post-punk riffs, brooding atmospherics, and expansive sonic textures. The album's “Albini-esque” production, emphasises raw, live energy while allowing dynamic variation between heavy and light moments.

lyrics
Then I saw you in the Dark, We Were a thousand miles apart, and I felt so low and all you could say was no. Now you're moving on with life, was always told you weren't right. Now that its come true I can hardly believe its still you. Oh no, its not long now until you lose control. Oh no, its not long now until you lose control.

about

The debut album of Cork band Ash Red.

This album explores what it means to be an outsider, the exile, isolated and lost.

Using football as its frame, the album title draws on the history of "Rule 27", which GAA used to forbade its members from playing so-called “foreign games” until 1971.
