On the inaugural episode of the Run For Cover Podcast, we’re joined by Basement guitarist & one-time RFC employee Alex Henery to discuss the band’s 2012 LP Colourmeinkindness. Basement’s second album was their at-the-time swan song LP, released only months before they disbanded - luckily for all of us, that break up didn’t last very long. Alex gives a detailed oral history of how the band came together, how they found their way onto the RFC roster & why the band made the decision to hit the breaks after Colourmeinkindness was released. He also details his move to America, how he started working at Run For Cover, hearing “Covet” for the first time, getting the band back together & what the future holds for Basement ahead of their shows this fall.

The Run For Cover Podcast is a limited series celebrating 20 years of Run For Cover Records. We’ll be releasing interviews with artists on the label’s foundational albums. RFC POD is hosted by noted Friend of the Label Bob Shedd (Axe to Grind Podcast) alongside label owner Jeff Casazza and staff members Dane McGoldrick & producer Bryan Carifio.
