Basement Revolver have been crafting both noisy and graceful shoegaze-esque tracks out of their hometown of Hamilton, Ontario since releasing their 2016 breakout hit ‘Johnny’. Their affinity for blending 90s-infused indie rock with fuzzy, dreamy pop and poignant, yearning lyrics has earned them a devoted following throughout their native Canada, the US and UK.
 
Signed to Canada’s Sonic Unyon and Memphis Industries affiliate label Fear Of Missing Out for their 2018 debut album release 'Heavy Eyes', the band have toured throughout North America and the UK with acts including The Go! Team, The Pack A.D. and Amber Arcades.
 
In early 2019 they expanded to a 4-piece, with the founding trio of guitarist-vocalist Chrisy Hurn, bassist Nimal Agalawatte, and drummer Brandon Munro adding second guitarist Jonathan Malström to further augment and intensify their emotionally charged dream-pop.
 
Their new material, set for release in 2019 and recorded at Toronto’s Union Sound Company with producer Ian Gomes, evolves beyond the bedroomy sound of the band’s previous releases while losing none of its intimacy. Guitars oscillate between soaring riffs and shimmering shoegaze ambience while the rhythm section propels like a well-oiled machine, and Hurn’s vocals ring out in crystal clarity.

“A sublime treasure and a simple example of the most splendid indie-rock you could hope to hear” - Punktastic

“The delicacy of the band's approach is matched to the intensity of their execution” - Clash 

“Alvvays goes shoegaze... dreamily drifts between featherlight fizz and gutting, rueful riffing” - Total Guitar

“Emotional and powerful rock and roll, packed with charm” - Beehive Candy

“One of the great feel-good stories of the Canadian music scene” - The Revue

“The Canadian indie rock band radiates a melancholic glory” - The Big Takeover

“Heavy-lidded fuzz pop” - Punk Online 

“Shoegaze at its finest” - I’m Good I’m Gone

There are people and memories that we cherish anywhere we go. There are snapshots of our lives that stay with us in some shape regardless of the path we choose. All of these fuzzy recollections have a soundtrack that scores the scene, and someone like Kaptan knows how to keep the moment together through a golden light. His self-described genre is “Shimmery Indie-Pop”, and while that works on the surface, it barely does his songs justice. The songs are personal Rorschach tests: depending on how you hear them, each lyric takes the shape relative to the listener. Some songs contain outright joy, and it’s sublime in tracks like “Anywhere We Go” and “Jump”, and there are also existential pulls in “Numbers” and “Let Go”. He’s also been heard everywhere from Chevy commercials to McDonald’s ads in the 2016 Summer Olympics, which is a testament to the relatability and straight-up catchiness of all of his releases. Nostalgia plays such a large role in our lives, and in Kaptan’s world, he keeps it safe while also helping us push toward the future.
