basement is a heavy, energetic rap rock and rapcore band from Boise, Idaho. They are widely celebrated locally for their high-energy live shows and humorous, groovy approach to the genre. They bring a High Energy pallet cleanse to every show that leaves all witnessing wanting more.
Formed in 1997 by wayward teenage friends Jeffro Hoskins II, Mychal (Caveman) Jenkins, and Bo Bonney found a positive outlet to express themselves through this clever fusion.
On their debut album (released Fall of 2022) you’ll find incorporated hints of Sepultura, Beastie Boys, Helmet, NWA, and Black Sabbath which creates a unique experience for everyone to enjoy. Produced by Page Hamilton, of Helmet (one of basement’s biggest influences), and recorded and engineered by Jason Ringelstetter at the Tonic Room, ten tracks of this profound, meat and potato style rock is definitely one for the books!

“Basement is the music equivalent to Jumping your ass into an ice cold lake. The juxtaposition and variety of their song composition shakes a fist at genre specificity. The live show reveals a cast of characters that simply can’t be ignored.”
