CD single also contains the bonus track At An End, bringing all of LJR’s Rico produced tracks together on one format!

BASEMENT & LJR Press
“A great band and wonderful live!”
The Dead Kennedys
“Basement‚ is a sensational creation!
It’s another faultless performance from the band likely to never fail.”
Baillie, subba-cultcha.
"A tight single from a powerful band that sound like they mean business -
and a singer who sounds like he'd give Eddie Vedder a run for his money."
Tom Robinson BBC6 Music
“BASEMENT is exactly the kind of track I love.
A great song and brilliant sound, a great dark ambience to it.”
Alan Mair - The Only Ones
“Basement creeps in like a demented stalker,
perfect if you like your music tinged with black!
LJR burn brightly”
The Daily Record
“A serial killing love song!”
Noize Makes Enemies
"Their intensity LIVE is startling!"
The Skinny Live Review
"Wonderfully Dark! FANTASTIC!"
Jim Gellatly Xfm Radio
"This band is an excavation of genius."
London’s Subba-Cultcha Magazine
