Label GB

Basement 5 was a highly original black Post-Punk group formed in 1978. Emerging from the Art Department of London's Island Records HQ, they created politically charged, futurist Dub music. Their lyrics aimed to reflect the struggles faced by young people in Britain during the era of Thatcherism, encompassing issues such as high unemployment, strikes, racism, and working class poverty.

Influenced by artists like Jah Wobble, The Neon Judgement, and Medium Medium among others, Basement 5 carved their own unique path in the music scene. Their innovative sound combined elements of Dub with a socially conscious message that resonated with listeners.

With their thought-provoking lyrics and experimental approach to music-making, Basement 5 left an indelible mark on the Post-Punk genre. They remain an important part of music history for their contribution to political commentary through artistry.

Vinyl variants, bonus material and signed editions exclusively available from Rough Trade.

Back In Stock

The Seminal and totally under rated In Dub Album available on vinyl for the first time since it's original release on Island Records in 1980. The album was produced by sonic alchemist Martin Hannett and stretched out the sound and gave each instrument space. Partly formed out of the Art Department of London's Island Records HQ in 1978, Basement 5 were an innovative and highly original black Post-Punk group who created a kind of politically charged, futurist Dub. Their lyrics were an attempt to reflect the situation of young people in Britain in the era of Thatcherism, high unemployment, strikes, racism, and working class poverty. The seething resentment, dub noise and sheet metal riffage was welded into a mighty sound by Hannett that stands the test of time. For fans of PIL, Killing Joke and the dub parts of the Ruts.
