What is up my mates!!! You already know what we're doin! Today we're gonna be discussing the legendary emo/alternative/punk band called Basement from the beautiful land of Ipswich.
Consisting of Alex Henery, Andrew Fisher, James Fisher, Ronan Crix, and Duncan Stewart, Basement has been crafting emotionally-dense songs for over a decade. Well, if you count their break. But the point is, they been at this for a long time.
Over the years their sound has shifted and grown, but they've been able to maintain and not alienate their core fanbase, despite these changes. They're one of the few bands I've watched over the years, that has blossomed so intensely well.
I'm not gonna lie, I Wish I Could Stay Here and Colourmeinkindness will always be my favorite works by them, but I really do love everything they've created thus far.
I can't stress enough how great Promise Everything and Beside Myself are, seriously don't overlook those.
And their EP's Songs About the Weather and Further Sky are mad underrated dawg.
Basement forever.
Hope everyone has an outstanding weekend. -Nate
Favorite Basement song?
Twitter: @camerahat
The one with the guitars and lyrics about missing my your girlfriend from sophmore year.
@@HarryPhillips that's a mobo song i think
Heard of Basement from you but took me a while to get into them (I really don't know why). Favorite tracks are "Be Here Now" or "Are you The One".
@@NateTheMateForever is it? Sorry I confused it with one about playing halo in my best friend who hates me’s loft
Oversized. It was the first Basement song I ever heard and it’s always been a favorite. It’s absolutely beautiful and the bass line is just gorgeous in the second verse. It’s pretty much perfection.
Definitely the band that got me into emo in high school
Heard Basement for the first time when they played with Title Fight. Never has a support band absolutely sold me from the moment they started playing, and from then, I got equally obsessed.
I was chuffed to meet Andrew at a turnover show who he was doing merch for, and he was the most approachable and friendly guy.
i have literally just been on a massive basement binge and this video expresses everything i've ever tried to explain to people about them, amazing dude!!
aw thank you connor
Their sexy telecasters, duh
i shoulda had you write this vid hahaha
@@NateTheMateForever dude you and I are experts on every emo band with 50k-300k monthly listeners
teles are the best
@@HarryPhillips do a video on their sexy telecasters
@@JeremiahFernandez sure why not
Thank you for making this, Nate. Basement is one of my favorite bands of all time and a band that means a lot to me. I was introduced to them by one of my best friends back in the spring of 2018 with their Audiotree performance of Promise Everything. That same friend passed away suddenly later that same spring and this band was the last band we ever talked about before his death (I think we were last talking about Aquasun and their My Favorite Game cover). His passing messed me up so bad and what got me through it all was me going back and discovering I Wish I Could Stay Here and Colourmeinkindness (I was also in the process of relocating to the west coast). I remember listening to Early Grey and breaking down because that's more or less how I felt and even what I did (Hell, I revisited my friend's old place postmortem one day just to look his apartment window, hoping that he would be there, but the lights were out...for good this time).
Idk if I can choose a favorite song or album though because all of the songs popped into my life when I needed them the most and perfectly reflected how I was feeling at the time. Even their album Beside Myself came out when I was dealing with all these sudden drastic life changes of 2018. The band got me through everything and their music was there for me when I was at my lowest. So I can't definitively say which song or album is my favorite because all of them are my favorite.
I owe this band a lot.
Basement, Title Fight, Citizen and Turnover, the holy square.🤯❤
*Basement, Title Fight, Citizen and Superheaven
+ modern baseball and tigers jaw i’d say hahahah
ill add BalCo in there now we have the fab 5
Gotta add movements y’all please listen to movements they’re like citizens little brother lol
Love the videos dude, ever think of doing a podcast? You’d be really good at it!
i would listen
I'd also listen
I was just thinking about this
Yes we need more nate content
i really hope he would. id love to see it
Watching and commenting from my other account haha. I always watch my video at least once after I post it. Idk why, I just always do that haha
wuddup nate
love it
Articulate . God , I miss catching flying kids
thank you so much for making this video. only found Basement in 2019 but this video made me feel so nostalgic
Basement is special because they are genuine and talented songwriters who put on no front or façade. Their performances both on recording and live are filled with raw unbridled energy that can't be matched. I fell in love with them when I saw them play support for The Front Bottoms in 2017. Also saw them the following year with Elder Brother on a small US album release tour for Beside Myself. Truly incredible band and I'm so glad you finally made a vid for them. Have a good one Nate!
After finding basement off of TikTok when covet was blowing up on the app, I kept seeing videos with the song, and I got hooked. I replayed the song a million of times by now, and I’ve started listening to their other albums/songs and i absolutely love their music. They seem like such cool people based off the videos I’ve seen on them. All of their music is so addictive. The vocals, the electric guitar, the drums, everything about the band is amazing.
I’ve never heard of them till they came to Costa Rica in their promise everything tour. I got caught up right away with their music and they were so genuinely nice after the show. I just became an instant fan of the band.
Surprised that they went to costa rica jajjaajjajja
I remember listening to these two albums back to back every single day being a depressed loner at my college campus my freshman year feeling like the first time ever a band literally verbalized all the thoughts in my head and feeling so connected to the lyrics. Love this band forever!
It’s insane how much they’ve blown up. Such a great band
i could be wrong but i believe james fisher also illustrated the story so far self titled album art
He did
Basement is my favourite band of all time. God I wish they would come back to Australia one day so I can get to see them :(
I've never heard of most of the bands you cover here but what keeps me coming back is your infectious enthusiasm. I just can't get enough of people getting excited over art they enjoy. Keep it up!
god i fucking love basement. Saw them for my first time on my 18th birthday and it was perfect
this is a sign to listen to Basement ASAP.
Basement? More like Basedment
These guys are from a city about an hour away from me, and wow, it's amazing. Listening to their music makes me feel something I havent before and has got me through such hard times. I will continue to support you guys forever:)
Why do I always feel like I’m going to cry when these videos start? The bands you cover really are so special.
time to binge their discography
i saw them live when they toured with front bottoms a few years ago
were they good?
@@NateTheMateForever they were awesome!
I went to the same tour and it was absolutely awesomeeee
I was at that show in Melbourne that you featured - it was quite possibly the best show I've ever attended and made me fall further in love with Basement. Australia didn't get many emo bands touring back then so it meant so much to the fans who attended. I still have the flyer advertising the show to this day as a reminder of how much it impacted me.
Crazy to think it had the same effect on you on the other side of the world...
this same video was the first one i came across from Basement, and it's still one of my favorite ever to this day. it strikes a chord, i swear.
I got into Basement in 2011. They’re still a band I turn to when I’m in distress. They bring so so so much to the table, especially with the emotion.
Thank you for this. I fucking love basement. I discovered them in a pretty dark and lethargic place after earl grey popped up on my CZcams. I fell for them immediately and they’re my favourite feel good band now. Just make me feel special when I listen to them on loop
I remember watching that “last” live show in London on CZcams at least 20 times! And then when they got back together, I knew I had to see them in LA in 2014! Being my second concert ever and only being 14 at the time, it is still the most memorable! If you haven’t seen them I highly recommend!!!
The guitarist Alex also plays in a great band called fiddlehead, definitely worth checking out if you haven’t already
amazing band!
no joke, the clip of Basement you put in the Movements video made me an instant fan, had to do a deep dive on them immediately
basement is my favourite band of all time! i saw them live last year
i wish i couldve seen them live in 2012 :/
Love the video! Basement kicks ass
everyone should check out Fiddlehead... Alex's side project with members of Have Heart! its SO GOOD. Springtime and Blind is a masterpiece for real
I had pre ordered colourmeinkindness before a senior beach trip to a friends lake house in Florida and that album paints my memory of that trip. Truly a special band. I love this tribute to them. Comfort might be my favorite song because it meant so much to me on that trip. Thanks for making this video.
Watching this video again after meeting James, the drummer, at a one step close gig he supported with his other band dynamite and it was so cool to talk to him about basement and how much the band means to me and you could tell it ment alot to him! New music is on the way he said
their sound so raw and catchy, brings back the grungy days
Your video's keep inspiring me man. you keep making videos about the bands i love and you analyze and describe them perfectly. I can tell you put a lot of effort in these. Thank you and keep it up.
YES NATE! how do you know all my favourite bands? keep up the excellent work, look forward to the next one and stay safe :)
First saw them open for TSSF in 2015. Basement is phenomenal live, instantly hooked.
saw them in St. Paul when they were opening for Weezer in 2019 and instantly fell in love with their music. seeing them live was unreal, they all just had so much charisma and you could just tell how much fun they were having. i will always have a place in my heart for them. after finding them I found bands like mobo, PUP and Marietta.
_they punch you in the gut, and make you miss things you forgot_
damn bro you're like the Shakespeare of pop punk video essays
I have a Basement tattoo that i got last year because I saw Basement live in Detroit in 2016 (first time seeing a band that I LOVED outside of Brazil) and I can’t explain how much that moment meant and it was special to me. I love basement.
I love this band since 2012, I loved all their music. They are certainly my secret getaway no matter where i am
I absolutely love Basement, one of the best and most consistent bands out there
First heard of them when they opened for The Front Bottoms at a concert I went to in 2017. Enjoyed ever since.
They're awesome. Saw them live here in Costa Rica 2 years ago. They played the best cover of School by Nirvana I've ever heard. Also that pic right at thenend of the drummer with a Luis Miguel t-shirt killed me hahaha
That "last show" was sick. Line up was class and stoked to be a part of it.
i love your videos so much man pls never stop
My ears first lost their Basement virginity to the song Pine. Been a fan ever since.
their new stuff is honestly sooo good. so catchy and fun to sing to! them and citizen are my favs
Great video! A little extra info Alex Henery first appearance in the band was on the Debut EP “Songs About The Weather” they had a different guitarist on the demo who also came out and played the song Thon Kurt at their “Last Show” in 2012.
I meet them on a random m&g in the santiago, Chile show. Alex and Andrew were the coolest, all they were exhaust (delay flight, they dont soundcheck just go to play), but these two guys were soooo excited to meet all of us in that room pre show. Best memories (also they signed my vinyls)
You should do a video on Microwave and if you haven't heard of them definitely check them out you'll love them.
i 100% agree with everything you’ve said, especially about alex being such an inspiring artist. Everything he does seems like the puts so much effort and passion into and it turns out to be brilliant. In the midst of Basement’s hiatus, I’ve been listening to Fiddlehead a lot and it has become one of my fav bands and guess who is one of their guitarist
I discovered them at the exact same time in 2012 when my friend from sophomore year played Covet for me. I’ll never forget that bc they quickly became my favorite band ever. I’ve met them at their album release party and they are seriously the nicest guys. Basement forever
Happy that I saw them this year at Outbreak Fest 2022. The Live footage is also on CZcams in the meantime.
I work at Disneyland and got the whole band in including their merch guy; long story short they were beyond nice and grateful. I talked with Alex the whole time and he was legit making more conversation with me than I am. I was 21 and been listening to them since high school so I was basically starstruck but they literally made me feel apart of them. All of them gave me a hug themselves without me asking when I got them through the gate lol they had a show that day at The Grove in Anaheim with TSSF, and Turnover. They guest listed my ex at the time, myself and my friend. They also told us take any merch you want from the table lol it was just an experience I will never forget and to this day I buy merch and listen to them daily
this is the most wholesome story ever. thank you so much for sharing this michael
Idk why this vid gave me so much feels
I relate to the sentiments you shared in the intro! great video
makes me so happy. thank you
men... this is so special, for me your video explain a lot of the feelings i got about this band, so great
this man went from introducing me to modern baseball, jank, marietta, real friends, title fight, and now this? thank you man. much appreciated
I would’ve have never found out abt Charmer if it weren’t for this channel too!
charmers amazing@@frenchbros6930
Thank you for making this
Great video on a great band as always man! This paired with watching the PUP live stream the other night made me search to see if you've even done a video on PUP and I don't see one 👀👀👀
ill have to do a pup video
@@NateTheMateForever 😍
YES YES THIS VIDEO IS SO IMPORTANT THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BAND YESSS LETS GOOOOOOO
theyre so bomb diggity
I saw basement live with the front bottoms headlining in Portland 4 years ago
Was lucky enough to be at that Melbourne show in 2012. Loved basement Soo much ever since!!
Omg my favorie band cant wait to watch this
Nate you've cost me more money than I'll admit buying albums. I appreciate it as well as you cursing you now and again (:
so good basement are truly one of the best bands out there. lose your grip is probably my favourite, its quite simple lyrically but i love the combination of the heavy guitar and andrew's softer voice for the most part idk it just works so well
great track, whole song goes so hard
@@NateTheMateForever your content goes very hard too
Thank you Nate personally I really love basement
I was at the Phoenix Youth Centre Melbourne show and I don't think I've ever gone to a better show since.
damn that's so cool to hear
Basement will forever be a cyclical memory/interest to me
You should make a video on what makes Midwest Emo so special👀
great video bro
lol man, I got into them right around the same time. I was a junior in middle school though. Even though I don't really listen to their new music that much, I can still go back and listen to colourmeinkindness anyday.
Mad. Requesting a video on Snowing next!
I started listening to Basement the day Byside Myself came out thanks to a recommendation. Since, I've learned all of Promise Everything, but h
ave not heard the two album in the video. Looks like I have some homework to do.
Damn Nate love this!
Basement is so good live! I’ve seen them a bunch of times. Always hits me so hard :’(
When r u making the mobo perfect cast video
Hey Nate, please review Higher Power!
I really like your content man! Would you ever consider making a video about something outside the emo scene? I’d love to see something on the come up of Lil Uzi Vert 😁 and I mean hey some consider emo rap to be the 5th wave of emo so it wouldn’t be so off topic for ya!
Ever consider doing a video on Seaway? They’ve been my favorite for quite a while and I wonder what your thoughts are on them.
walter mitty at the end :)
When Nate hits you with "melBORN"
“i got into basement the year they broke up” I FELT THAT & IT HURT
Pls make a video on Stars Hollow
So how do I get those DIY crewnecks that you mentioned Alex Henery repurposes with his brand?
Edit: Nvm I found his store. 's a little pricey
do a video on sincere engineer. overbite is a relatable banger
You need to make a video on camping in Alaska
u right jackson
Interesting video because ia have kinda the same relationship with the band but my time of discovery was just when they announced their new comeback album and I just thought how lucky it was to become obsessed with a band without having the feeling of “these gays are gone” that maybe some had when they broke up
One of basement's song is COVET... they have a lyric in that song... It goes...
"Good heart and a desire to please
I want a fatal disease...."
I love these lines ♥️♥️
so heavy...
@@NateTheMateForever hey there! Didn't think I'd get a reply from you... But anyways... Yeah super heavy and awesome!!
Hey Nate, love your videos man! Question: why don't you like Basement's last two albums as much? I have heard you mention in other videos that you're not as fond of promise everything and beside myself. I personally really like them, and probably more than their first two. I think they are a little more musically mature than their first two.
I think I prefer the more emo-esque youthful sound for some reason. Just a personal bias hahah
I love how their last album sounds like Jimmy Eat World
Oh hell ya Nate love these dudes!
Really also think you should check out Gulfer. They just dropped a new album last week and think you’ll dig it.
Cheers!
So weird to see my local club in some of Nate's live footage!
Fav songs:
1. Black
2. Spoiled
3. Whole
hell YES
base MENT!
hey mate talk about Belmont!!
Pleasd make a Discord, you have a great community here
Nate why do you think exactly like I do at the same moments this is getting a little weird😭😂 you are my spirit animal sir
