The label's roster is eclectic, explosive and not limited to any genres, happily moving from electro-rock to screamo-hardcore. The Black Basset kennel is, so far, home to Billions of Comrades, Mont-Doré, Augures, Castles, Thot, Seilman Bellinsky and Quadrupède. ☛ CASTLES ☚A mutual friend introduced Bertrand Bourguignon and Jérome Considérant to ex-Beecher frontman Edward Godby in May 2010. This international concoction was unlikely, a curious feature in many of history’s most inspired partnerships. The collective compositions of Godby, Considérant and Bourguignon take elements from across the spectrum of heavy rock music, played loud and hard. They pride themselves on challenging and innovative structures, capturing an atmosphere of intensity. At first, there were few verses and choruses. There have never been any gimmicks. Castles was a new band with new ideas. With their sophomore effort, « Fiction or Truth », engineered by Converge’s very own Kurt Ballou, Castles set out to write a more listenable and varied set of songs, whilst maintaining their basic desire to compose progressive and mathematically-structured, intense punk rock. Which is what everybody sets out to do. Castles achieved their goal. www.castlesband.net http://therealcastles.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/castlesofficial ☛ MONT-DORÉ ☚Brussels’ MONT-DORÉ is a project gathered around a manifesto on the place of violence and peace in the act of climbing sensibilities. Known for its explorations of various musical territories between post rock, post-hardcore and screamo, the band has built a strong live reputation thanks to its incredible VJ-supported live performances featuring Stress Stranger, and has already shared the stage with acts such as Celeste, Birds In Row, We Came Out Like Tigers and Death Engine among others. http://www.montdore.be/ http://montdore.bandcamp.com/ www.facebook.com/montdoremusic ☛ ELECTRIC)NOISE(MACHINE ☚Electric)Noise(Machine is a dead pop experiment with loudness: bass, drums and vocals. It only took them four strings, a drumset and a wall of amplifiers to re-invent aggression. From the blue streets of Brussels, these guys bring you true and original dead pop, the shape of punk that should have come. www.electricnoisemachine.com http://electricnoisemachine.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/electricnoisemachine
