Biografia
Reminiscent of a 1990’s DIY bedroom-recording approach, Basement is comprised of vocalist Andrew Fisher, guitarists Alex Henery and Ronan Crix, bassist Duncan Stewart, and drummer James Fisher. A year after forming the group released their debut output the EP “Songs About the Weather” in May 2010, which the success of led Basement to sign with Run For Cover Record in August 2010. Produced by Jesse Cannon, Basement’s debut full-length “I Wish I Could Stay Here” was issued by Run For Cover Records in June 2011. Earning a host of stellar reviews from online music publications, the album introduced the band’s melodic aggression to a much wider audience. In support of the release Basement embarked on their first ever series of worldwide tours which including shows in Australia, America, and Europe.
A year later in October 2012, Basement’s sophomore album “Colourmeinkindness” hit the shelves courtesy of Run For Cover Records. Once again extolled by the critical press, “Colourmeinkindness” was produced by Sam Pura, and supported by a few shows towards the tail end of 2012. Following a farewell gig at the Camden Underground in London, Basement announced an indefinite hiatus, with guitarist Alex Henery moving to Boston, Massachusetts, to work for Run For Cover Records. In January 2014 however, some subtle hints on their Twitter account led fans to believe the hiatus had run its course, and true to their beliefs Basement returned to release the EP “Further Sky” in July 2014. Featuring two new songs and a cover of Suede’s “Animal Nitrate”, the well-received record was produced by Dan Goudi.

Being a fan of English melodic hardcore outfit Basement has not been an easy ride, after exploding on the scene in 2009 with a truly different sound. A fanbase was established immediately and numeorus publications praised the band's early intense and intimate live performance. However they announced a hiatus shortly after the release of their first two albums 'I Wish I Could Stay Here' and 'Colourmeinkindness'.
Two years later and they cause more emotional anxiety for the fans as they announce a reunion and head back onto the road. Fortunately for the band the dedication of the fans is strong and the masses return to the small venues to cheer, rock and jump along with the five piece. They seem to be a lot more focused and centred than in the early days and the inter-band tenses have all disappeared. When they look out through the hazy smoke and see a whole room full of people jumping along to 'Covet' and 'Bad Apple' it seems clear that the group are now in this for the long run. There is no sign of any new material yet as the group play their shows although the next album is likely to be really exciting so keep it peeled.

When you think of this word, you do not think that they are a band. You do not think that they are possibly some of the best post-hardcore music of this time. They are Basement, and they are truly amazing. There is nothing about them that is like a basement, they are very much alive and above ground.
I think that they make quite possibly some of the best music that I have ever listened to. My ears thank me each and every time I listen to them. They get in a special mood. I love Basement for the way they treat their fans and people in general. They always hold some sort of kindness in their heart, even if you tell them you hate their music. They respect everyone and what their opinion is, and that takes a lot for someone to do.
I am very happy to say that when you listen to them live you are transported to another world. They bring you to life in another universe and they make you happy and smiley and overall in a great mood. I cannot explain what their music does to you, just listen and see them live to find out for yourself.
You know how a lot of the time, the support band are quieter than the maib band, it was certainly the other way around this time!
Also the sound for the support (Dinosaur Pile-Up) was extremely well mixed and powerful, unlike Basement's sound.
However, Basement did still play with great energy and really sent thr crowd mental and had everyone singing along.
Also, look at for Dinosaur Pile Up, they were extremely good and judging by the headbanging in the room, it seems like this was the resounding opinion!
So yeah, shame about the sound but they still played well, hopefully the poor sound is only a one off at this gig.

This was the most awesome concert I ever saw! Both Basement and Touché Amoré were incredible. Also the people were really nice and helpful, but still cool :)
The vibe was amzing and the music of course beyond belief! Both bands were approachable and signend everything the fans gave to them, they were so kind! I would like to see them more often here in Germany!

each performance was great. Basement is intense. But it would've been better if the show started an hour earlier and if it were located in Boston. More people would've attended the show, plus there is more transportation. I wasn't satisfied because the location wasn't great. But basement always pull off a great show.

Basement was absolutely amazing. The connection between the band and the crowd was insane. Their songs were great and I'm definitely going to see them again when I get the chance.
