{"product_id":"wired-live-instore-and-signing","title":"WIRED: Live Instore and Signing","description":"\u003cp\u003eWIRED is a hard reset for Basement. It marks the British band’s first album in eight years, a reunion with their original label Run For Cover Records, and a return to making music with the unbridled passion and creative intuition that's always animated their best material. Since forming in 2009, Basement have always been the same five friends -- vocalist Andrew Fisher, guitarists Alex Henery and Ronan Crix, bassist Duncan Stewart, and drummer James Fisher -- with the same alchemic bond. The only thing that's changed in recent years is their renewed sense of purpose, and their new album makes that loudly apparent. WIRED is the most dynamic, daring, and inspired Basement have ever sounded, while also retaining the timeless fundamentals of the band’s singular sound: growling guitars, rousing choruses, striking emotional verbiage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e“A lot of WIRED is about me trying to work out and find confidence, and being at peace with being confident publicly,” Fisher reveals. “Because I’ve never done that, and certainly never with the music, which has always been very self-deprecating, insular, and sad.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat’s not to say WIRED is a happy record. Rather, it grapples with all the personal and band-related tribulations that Basement have endured over the last eight years, and uses those experiences to galvanize a set of songs that are both courageous and tender, vulnerable and vigorous. “We’ve pushed through the craziest lows and the ultimate highs and we’re still going,” Henery enthuses. “To me, WIRED represents a lot.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe record’s title condenses all of those facets into a single word. The textural connotations of WIRED -- metallic, sharp, jagged -- evoke the album’s steely sonics, and on a more conceptual level, the title speaks to Basement’s unshakeable tenacity. An analog band who’ve thrived in an increasingly digital world without resting on the comforts of nostalgia. Five friends who’ve persisted through several breakups and breakthroughs, but have only grown as people and evolved as a musical unit. At this point, Basement have to accept their fate: they're WIRED for this shit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monorail Music","offers":[{"title":"Event Ticket Only","offer_id":52992091586902,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD and ticket bundle","offer_id":52992091619670,"sku":null,"price":21.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Coke bottle LP and tickets bundle","offer_id":52992091652438,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Swirl LP and ticket bundle","offer_id":52992091685206,"sku":null,"price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/6088\/9430\/files\/basement-poster.jpg?v=1775033680","url":"https:\/\/monorailmusic.com\/products\/wired-live-instore-and-signing","provider":"Monorail Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
