Artist Bio

Basement are an English alternative-rock band whose sound bridges melodic hardcore, emo and 1990s-inspired guitar rock. Albums such as Colourmeinkindness and Promise Everything built a devoted international audience and helped shape the modern emo revival. They first played Shaky in 2018, giving them a nine-year gap. The band is actively touring in 2026, including an Atlanta date at The Masquerade on October 14. No verified 2027 route or current agency source was captured, so that Atlanta show should be handled by the existing timing logic.
