Basement sign to Fueled by Ramen, share new version of "Promise Everything"

UK punks Basement announced a tour opening for Thursday earlier this week, and today they revealed that they signed to Fueled by Ramen. Between them and The Front Bottoms, that makes two cool indie-punk bands on FBR at the moment.

Basement will give a deluxe reissue to Promise Everything, which initially came out on Run For Cover in 2016, on FBR. It comes out digitally on March 3, on CD on March 17, and on vinyl on May 19. The album was remixed and remastered, and includes a newly recorded version of the title track which you can hear now. Vocalist Andrew Fisher says, “When we recorded the album Promise Everything we didn’t have the luxury of time. The concept of sitting on songs and making sure we were happy with their arrangement was alien to us. With the re-release of the record we felt it was the perfect opportunity to go back to the song we thought was the strongest and make it as good as we could. Here’s what we came up with! Thanks for checking it out.”

It’s definitely a bigger, sharper sounding version of the song than the original version, but don’t worry, they haven’t gone Fall Out Boy on us or anything. Check it out, along with the tracklist for the deluxe reissue, below.

Basement’s tour with Thursday also has the great Touche Amore on all dates, plus Wax Idols on the first leg and Cities Aviv on the second. The leg with Cities Aviv includes NYC shows on April 29 & 30 at Irving Plaza. Tickets for the whole tour are on BrooklynVegan presale now (password = GUILDENSTREET).
