Labasheeda

Labasheeda is a Amsterdam-based indie rock trio blending post-punk energy with art-rock experimentation, formed in 2003 around frontwoman Saskia van der Hagen's distinctive violin-driven songwriting. Known for their DIY ethos and intimate lyrical themes, the band crafts angular melodies and rhythmic tension that evoke comparisons to Sleater-Kinney and Sonic Youth. Their discography – including albums like *Blueprints* (2015) and *Changing Lights* (2021) – showcases a progression from raw, minimalist arrangements to more layered productions while maintaining their signature restless creativity. Recent singles like *Deny* and *Dark Dream* continue their exploration of emotional landscapes through fractured guitar lines and van der Hagen's conversational vocal delivery, cementing their status as stalwarts of the European underground scene.
