The Basics (/ˈbæzɪ/ BAZ-itch) are an Australian band, formed by Wally De Backer 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.[1]

With well over 2,500 shows under their belt, their live performances are well known for their energy, sense of humour and proto-punk sensibilities.[2]
