"Basement ressurgit plus fort que jamais ! Imparable, mélodies sublimes, refrains dantesques, riffs titanesque…Magnifique de puissance et de mélancolie. 30 mn de bonheur, ni plus ni moins !"(VERSUS MAGAZINE)

"Ils n’ont rien perdu de leur superbe, ils sont toujours aussi prestigieux, des rocking class heroes !"(ROCK SOUND)

"Conçu pour affoler les compteurs Geiger !"(ROLLING STONE)

"Le

mal est fait. Parfait. Basement est à nouveau

génial"(NEXTCLUES)

"A se procurer de

toute urgence, avec un seul regret, toutefois sans réelle

importance : qu'il n'y ait ici que huit morceaux à se mettre

sous la dent. Achat impératif, et retour triomphant pour un

groupe désormais incontournable"(FOUTRAQUE)



"Après quelques années de placard, Basement n'a pris ni ride, ni rouille, ni poussière et reste cette véritable machine de guerre avec laquelle on avait achevé le vingtième siècle. Incontournable." (BOKSON)

"Le fantôme de The Jesus Lizard plane superbement sur les compos de Basement. 8 titres et autant de raisons de vous procurer ce petit bijoux !"(WIL RECORDS)

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 March 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 400 shows, Basement is back and ready to prove it on stage all over Europe.
