Nestled away in the UK's quiet, picturesque east coast town of
Ipswich, the lads in Basement are conflicted between the comfort
of the beautiful familiar and the allure of escape. As frontman
Andrew Fisher's gravelly, Lifetime-esque yowl skips and stretches
over driving rhythms and poignant guitar melodies, it's clear
Basement expertly walk the line between the contrast of
heartrending emo and gruff post-hardcore. Whether working through
a slow, Seaweed-styled mid-tempo burn of pounding-out driving
punk, Basement has a quiet layer of jagged desperation weaving
their songs together under the smooth melodic surface.
