Basement

Ipswich alternative rockers Basement have scored UK Top 40 hits with "Promise Everything" and "Be Here Now."

Since forming in 2009, Basement have always been the same five friends - vocalist Andrew Fisher, guitarists Alex Henery and Ronan Crix, bassist Duncan Stewart, and drummer James Fisher - with the same alchemic bond.

The only thing that’s changed in recent years is their renewed sense of purpose, delivering their most dynamic, daring, and inspired music, while also retaining the timeless fundamentals of the band’s singular sound: growling guitars, rousing choruses, striking emotional verbiage.

Basement are back firing on all cylinders, but they’re not interested in rehashing old glories.

The band has looked to a smorgasbord of adventurous heroes for inspiration (REM, Interpol, Smashing Pumpkins, to name a few) without ever sounding like they’re imitating any one band - not even themselves.

An analog band who’ve thrived in an increasingly digital world without resting on the comforts of nostalgia. Five friends who’ve persisted through several breakups and breakthroughs, but have only grown as people and evolved as a musical unit. At this point, Basement have to accept their fate: they’re wired for this shit.
