I'll Meet You on the Water There Sometime - A Look at Basement

Hailing from Ipswitch, England Basement is a band that has been bringing some kindhearted and enjoyable takes on the genres of alt. rock, punk, and even emo. While this 5 piece may not be the most ambitious band out there in terms of structure and style, gravitating heavy into the melodic realm with their latest LP release: "Promise Everything," Basement is a strong member of Run for Cover Records in my honest opinion.

While earlier releases' strengths lied in glossy bass tracking, and coursing rhythm-based guitar riffs, baritone vocalist Andrew Fisher is really beginning to come into his own. His vocals are not only enjoyable but strong enough to carry a good majority of the strengths of the band's latest release. However, this isn't to say the band is lacking on the instrumental front by any means, I just really feel that Fisher deserves to be recognized for stepping up. Give this a band listen if you dig alt rock with an emo and punk flair.

Below I've included a link to a few track recommendations:
