Basement - Head On

Review by William Saito

Basement's latest album, Head On, is a powerful and emotive collection of songs that showcases the band's growth and evolution over the years. From the explosive opening track "Disconnect" to the haunting closer "Right Here", the album takes the listener on a journey through the highs and lows of life, love, and loss.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Stigmata", a blistering punk anthem that channels the energy and attitude of the band's early work while also showcasing their newfound maturity and depth. Another highlight is "New Coast", a soaring ballad that showcases vocalist Andrew Fisher's incredible range and emotional intensity.

Throughout the album, the band's musicianship is top-notch, with guitarists Alex Henery and Ronan Crix delivering blistering riffs and intricate melodies, while bassist Duncan Stewart and drummer James Fisher provide a rock-solid foundation for the songs to build upon.

About Basement

Noise rock band located in Libourne, France. Basement was created at the end of 1995 inspired by various American bands such as Jesus Lizard, Unsane, Fugazi, Cop shoot cop or Distorted Pony. The band's first EP entitled Head on was recorded by Fred Norguet (Burning Heads, Portobello Bones, Ez3kiel...) and was released by Weird records/Tripsichord in October 1996. This dark spellbinding hardcore record came to tease the successful Amphetamine Reptile company. After touring all over France, the band went back to the studio to record their second EP. Just like Head on, Underneath was produced by Fred Norguet but was released by Vicious Circle/Pias in March 1998. This record proved that the band deserved its place in the French noise and Post hardcore music world. The three members of Basement spent the following two years playing their songs on stage in France and Europe and were selected for the FAIR in 2000. 2007 marks the return of Basement after a quite long break. There is now a fourth member in the band and they have just released a new record, Everything gets distorted, made of 8 tense songs combining strength and melody. This time the band has worked with the French producer Nicolas Dick (Kill the Thrill), Jean Michel Gimenez (Tantrum / cover and artwork), Interference (management) and After Before (booking). With a ten year long existence and after two records and more than 500 shows, Basement is back and ready to prove it on stage all over Europe and USA.. New Ep "Counterclockwise
