Basement

Basement is a British indie rock and shoegaze-influenced band whose albums — including Colourmeinkindness (2012) and Promise Everything (2016) — have built them a devoted following in the post-hardcore and indie rock world. Their sound draws on the British shoegaze tradition while keeping the emotional directness of emo at its center — a combination that has made them one of the more consistently compelling bands operating between those two poles.

The Masquerade on October 14 is the right-sized room for a band whose audience tends to be attentive and invested from the first song. Close enough to feel the performance, loud enough to feel the sound. October 14.
