Basement - Promise Everything

Promise Everything was released in 2016. It is the third album by the UK band Basement and followed a period when the group had been on hiatus.

The album combines shoegaze atmosphere with emo and melodic post-hardcore. Its songs use heavy guitars but also emphasize clear hooks and emotionally direct songwriting.

It marked the band's return after a hiatus and continued their move toward a broader melodic sound. The record connected Basement's post-hardcore roots with the hazier guitar textures associated with shoegaze.

It has heavy guitars and post-hardcore energy, but it is not limited to an aggressive hardcore approach. The 2016 album also relies on melody, spacious guitar layers, and accessible vocal lines.
