A Public Apology from Basick Records
We’d like to take this opportunity to apologise to our friends and fans worldwide who have experienced longer shipping times than normal from our Basick store. By way of apology we asked Chad Basick to take a picture for all his legion of gay4chad fans, to express our sincere dismay about this situation (look how handsome and strong that chin is!)
A few things happened recently leading to a ‘perfect storm’ scenario which led to our merch taking longer than normal to arrive. The dog ate it. (not buying it?!) - ok…we were attacked by aliens… (if we say it with a straight face..does it count?!).
Nah, what happened was, we moved our merch to a new facility, leading to a handover taking place. At the same time we put on a 25% sale for record store day, and grossly underestimated the popularity of that sale - we sold as much in 24hrs as we normally do in a month. And then we ran out of coffee. Anyone in the merch packing business knows coffee is an essential part of the process.
So - we are back on track, we are working day and night to get those orders out to you and we also whole heartedly apologise if you mailed our orders@basickrecords.com and didn’t hear back. Our guy was so busy printing, pressing, packing, folding and trying to ignore his coffee cravings that he also didn’t manage to respond to your emails in a timely manner.
We are still a fledgling label, we appreciate every single order and it breaks our heart to think of some of you having a hard time with this. So please accept this pic of Chad (our A&R guy, it’s his fault we have all these amazing bands) from us by way of apology. As we grow, we face these problems and have made a promise that we won’t ever bullshit you about what’s up. (Seriously, it was the dog!)
If you are still waiting on merch, it should arrive soon. If you have any problems - email us orders@basickrecords.com and we’ll do our best to get back to you asap. Include details of your transaction, paypal receipt etc and it will speed up the process.
If you really need to get us, shout at us, or send us a virtual hug you can message us on Facebook and we’ll get back to you, or Lisa Basick will, she’s always lurking round those parts chatting to people about cat videos.
We love you guys, cheers for sticking with us and supporting our bands.

SKYHARBOR’s breathtaking double disc, debut album, ‘Blinding White Noise: Illusion & Chaos’, is released today and promises to be a landmark release for the Indian independent music scene, in no small part thanks to the incredible number of international guest appearances it will see, including the likes of Marty Friedman (ex Megadeth), Daniel Tompkins (ex TesseracT), Vishal J. Singh (Amogh Symphony) and Sunneith Revankar (Bhayanak Maut).
Spanning 2 discs the album reveals very different aspects of the band and is a mix of effortlessly mature, ambient soundscapes that intertwine playfully alongside densely layered guitar work, complex structures and experimental metal.
