Parallel Lines Presents Basement Revolver

Basement Revolver will be playing at Paper Dress Vintage on the 22nd May!

Formed in the honest grit of Hamilton, Ontario, Basement Revolver have seen a quick and notable ascent into the spotlight with their unique brand of 90’s infused indie-rock. The band has been able to formulate a captivating and refined hypnotic aural experience typically found with those who are well beyond their years. Early adopters noted a “sense of longing that could stretch back decades.” (Tom Connick, DIY)

Managing to open for accomplished national acts like Dave Monks (Tokyo Police Club), We Are The City, Evening Hymns and The Acorn, they began to see sparks of something special. Halfway into their first year as a band they leaped at the chance to record their debut EP with local studio, TAPE (Memoryhouse, Dirty Nil, Edgar Breau). Together with Adam Bentley and Jordan Mitchell they began to sculpt and carve out their signature atmospheric sound.

Gaining momentum, they soon decided on releasing their debut single, ‘Johnny’. With this first song they encountered an unstoppable wave of support; managing to establish themselves with grassroots endorsements from sites such as DIY Magazine, Indie Shuffle, CBC and Exclaim! Magazine to name only a handful. Respected tastemakers like GoldFlakePaint were hailing ‘Johnny’ a “‘favourite song of the year’ contender” and another said they had a sound that was hard to forget once it took hold. They had stumbled across a sound that is capable of stripping listeners of inhibition, yet heavy hitting enough to leave a lasting impression.
