Suave Melbourne trio The Basics have announced their brand new live album ‘In The Rude’ will be released on Friday, May 27. To celebrate the announce of ‘In The Rude’, The Basics have released their new single and music video With This Ship taken from the live album.

The Basics for those who don’t know are an Australian band, formed by Wally De Backer (more commonly known as Gotye) and Kris Schroeder in 2002, later joined by Tim Heath. Their style has been described as anything from ‘indie-pop’ to ‘rock’n’roll’, though their records show they span a wide range of genres, including reggae, pop-rock, folk, country, and electro-pop. They are “recognised as one of Australia’s hardest-working bands”.

With well over 2500 shows under their belt, their live performances are well known for their energy, sense of humour and proto-punk sensibilities.
