Basement – I Wish I Could Stay Here [Yellow Splatter Vinyl]

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. This duality pervades the band's existence. As frontman Andrew Fisher's gravelly yowl skips and stretches over driving rhythms and poignant guitar melodies, it's clear Basement expertly walk the line between the contrasts of heartrending pop and gruff post-hardcore. When working through a slow-burning mid-tempo or pounding out driving punk, Basement has a quiet layer of jagged desperation weaving songs together under the smooth melodic surface.

Much like a coming of age, the songs are toiling, torn and bursting at the seams. Basement's debut album I Wish I Could Stay Here captures the band's early mix of emo, melodic hardcore and post-hardcore with raw, emotionally direct songwriting. Yellow splatter vinyl edition.

Genre: Emo, Post-Hardcore.
