It’s the sound of cheap pedals and blown out speakers, the sound of dirty basements and dirtier guitars.

A piercing sound reminiscent of your first used record player running through a 10 watt practice amp. It’s a sound The Basement Cats, an indie rock n' roll band from Holyoke, Massachusetts, have been perfecting since their inception in early 2010. This sound, coupled with The Basement Cats boisterous, raucous, and extremely volatile live show, is a force strong enough that, upon their sets completion, it’ll make you get up from your chair, step outside, shed a single tear, and declare to yourself: “That’s fresh, that’s genuine, that’s potent, that’s Rock n' Roll.”
