“Labasheeda has created a post-punk masterpiece with “Blueprints.” It’s one of those albums that demands your utmost attention if you’re into the genre, and beyond. Their experience, knowledge, skills, talent, ideas, and musicianship shine throughout the entire material, forcing you to repeat this material over again. Labasheeda proved they’re one of the best contemporary bands, capable of releasing excellent music every time they desire to.” – Thoughts Words Action
“Few bands manage to find the sweet spot between traditional rock and post-rock, the place where new attitudes sweep away the cliche of the past and where the worst excesses of experimentation are held in check by the perfect blend of muscle and melody. But if you ever found your way to such hallowed ground, you would find this Amsterdam trio there waiting for you.” – The Big Takeover
Labasheeda are an art-punk & noise rock trio from Amsterdam comprised of singer/guitarist/violinist Saskia van der Giessen, guitarist/bassist Arne Wolfswinkel, and drummer Bas Snabile.
Tying together a decade of adventurous, sound-evolving albums and changing lineups, Labasheeda’s music has a penchant for concise, stripped down melodies, and for albums that travel from spacious bass lines and drums to heavy, chaotic, and sometimes anthemic guitar driven songs.
