Basement will release their new LP WIRED On May 8th Run For Cover Records. The band, featuring vocalist Andrew Fisher, guitarists Alex Henery and Ronan Crix, bassist Duncan Stewart, and drummer James Fisher. A head of the arrival of the new LP, the band have shared lead singles “WIRED” and “Broken By Design.” This summer Basement will embark on a European tour followed by an appearance at London’s All Points East Festival in August.

Speaking of the singles the band’s Andrew Fisher says, “”WIRED” is about how sometimes it feels that we are set up to feel and behave in certain ways beyond our control. That no matter how hard you try to hide it, eventually it will come out – either by choice or by force. This song was almost lost – a few of us were into it, but it sort of lost traction for a bit. Then one day it cropped back up and we put it at the forefront of our minds and it ended up being one of my favourite songs to perform and record.”

The band recorded Wired with producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Mannequin Pussy), who helped them manifest the heightened version of Basement that they’d always dreamt of. Imperfections were celebrated, each member’s ideas were incorporated, and Congleton ensured that every moment on Wired sounds both precise and enervated.

Every time Basement take a break, their band gets bigger. The quintet’s 2011 debut, I Wish You Could Stay Here, gave them a foothold in the post-hardcore groundswell of the early 2010s, but Basement had already decided to call it quits before their far more evolved follow-up, Colourmeinkindness, had even hit the shelves. Upon disbanding in late 2012 so vocalist Fisher could get his teaching degree, Basement’s underground following ballooned in their absence, and when they eventually reformed in 2014, they were welcomed back as mainstays of the scene.

After some deep conversations that reaffirmed their creative alliance, Henery and Fisher reconvened to begin writing again with no label pressures and no strings attached. Instantly, the seeds of Wired began to take shape, and soon enough, the whole band knew they had something special in the works. Coincidentally, not long after Basement began properly sculpting LP5, the Colourmeinkindness song “Covet” caught wind on TikTok and swiftly became a viral hit, earning a Gold certification in 2024 — 12 years after its release — and introducing Basement’s music to a whole new generation of internet-savvy fans.
