about

Continuing with the dark, raw, and dance styled prog-punk from their previous groups, Nolan Sullivan and Noah Lapierre collaborated with Matt Schuman in 2016 to make Above Ground Basement. The trio spent the past year writing and recording their first album.

Above Ground Basement embodies contrast. In long form pop structures appears Nolan's speak-singing and terrifying pitch bending guitar solos, Noah's subtle, potent drumming, and Matt's gritty bass and experimental noise. These elements carom into a surprising listening experience.
