I was just reminded of it with some of the riffs/melodies

typo here FYI - "Basement are not exactly inspiring or written anything"

Cheers,

and I have never listened to B&C...I shall look into that.

Edit: I've said this so many times now but i'll say it again. I don't normally listen to this genre but I really, really love this band.

It's really the first time in years that a band in this genre has grabbed me this much.

Yeah, I think so too, TF never really got me hooked.

Second pair of Hot Water Music and Crime in Stereo references I've seen with this album. I could halfway understand HWM, but this realllllly doesn't sound at all like CiS to me.

HWM and CIS were more vocally then anything.

aye, its a pain. was going to make a new profile but i remember having difficulties with other bands that share parts of their names...

Not given it a lot of time yet - I'll check it out properly soon.

Glad you liked it, and definitely check it out!

great review alex, agree with everything you said. love this album. i can see the similarities between title fight and basement(similar lyrics and vocals), but they each have their own distinct sound in my opinion.

thank you! glad you enjoy the album.
