When Bassvictim dropped their first music in 2023, they instantly got a\u00a0lot of people talking. The London-based duo \u2013 featuring Polish singer Maria Manow and American producer Henry \u200b\u2018Ike\u2019 Clateman \u2013 dubbed their disorientating and distortion-damaged style \u200b\u2018basspunk\u2019, churning out euphoric and trashy underground anthems like Canary Wharf Drift and Air on a\u00a0G String. With their no-budget visual aesthetic and their chaotic Instagram stories, they attracted more attention than most PR-friendly new bands could hope for. <\/p>\n
2025 has been a\u00a0banner year for Bassvictim. In January they dropped the album Bassspunk 2 and they evolved their sound for November\u2019s LP Forever, which was recorded at a\u00a0resident sauna-studio in rural Norway. Maria and Ike embarked on a\u00a023 date tour across North America and Europe, concluding with shows earlier this month in Pozna\u0144, Warsaw and Krak\u00f3w. Having grown up in the small city of Bydgoszcz, Maria proudly reps her heritage with the occasional Polish lyric and ad-lib onstage and in the studio. So understandably, the Polish fans went wild. <\/p>\n
