  • The Basics are an indie-pop band from Melbourne, Australia, formed by Wally de Backer and Kris Schroeder in 2002. Their live performances are well known for their sense of humour and energy. Covers frequently make an appearance from various sources: to date, some of the bands covered have been Cream, The Kinks, The Police, New Kids on the Block and The Coasters. Their musical style could loosely be described as referencing 60s pop and rock with elements of rock 'n' roll, reggae and rhythm and blues mixed in. However their new material, currently being written for their tentatively titled Keep Your Friends Close second album are taking their cues from blues and soft rock.
