BIOGRAPHY
At the start of 2003, The Basement launched to a whole heap of praise from the UKs leading music press. In fact the whole country was getting a bit giddy for the Irish fourpiece. Then The Basement disappeared. Little did we know that they were working night and day on a debut album that is set to bring The Basement back to forefront of the British Music scene....

Hey Guys-

We just posted a little preview of our upcoming release "Springtime in Pottersville".

Hey Fellas,
Thanks for the add. Haven't seen you guys live as yet. I think I helped set up Mark's tent at Electric Picnic and your man Oisin mentioned Mark was a guitarist... hope I got the right band. Anyway, now that I have had a taster of your stuff, can't wait to catch a gig. Do hope there is one coming up sometime soon!
