"There [is] something very special about The Basics. They play 60s-cast retro rock, sure, but they play it like they invented it… with fierce joy and phenomenal talent, this bright-eyed three piece have a fiery ambition but seem to be completely without pretense." "Quality songs and faultless melodies... it's retro but different. The trio move through decades with ease, touching on rock, ska, and even a bit of big band. It's all about the groove, man."
