BASEMENT

UK Melodic Hardcore 2009 - 2012 Basement were a melodic hardcore band from Ipswich, Suffolk, UK consisting of five members, Alex, Andrew, Duncan, James and Ronan. Signed to Run For Cover records, Basement released a 2009 demo, one EP, Songs About The Weather (2010) as well as two albums; I Wish I Could Stay Here (2011) and Colourmeinkindness (2012). The band are on hiatus as of after their This is Goodbye tour, with their last sold out shows in Leeds and London in November 2012. They released the statement: “Now Colourmeinkindness is finished, we head out to play a string of shows across America. Due to a number of personal commitments, this record and these shows will be the last thing we do as a band for a very long time. Basement has never been about achieving anything; it was simply an enjoyable outlet for creativity and emotion. That being said, we are incredibly grateful for the support we have received over the last two years. We have managed to do some amazing things and see some incredible places and the people we have met along the way will be our friends forever. We seriously cannot express sufficiently how much this means to us. We all have things going on outside of the band that require a lot of time and attention and now more than ever these things have to come first.
