Search - Bass Drum of Death :: Gb City

Bass Drum of Death's debut full-length, GB City, might be described by most listeners as garage-rock. But perhaps the more apt term is basement-rock. It turns out that the duo's frontman, John Barrett, wrote and recorded the album in a series of basement apartments. Armed with a guitar, drum kit, and USB microphone, Barrett threw together scuzzy pop songs steeped in punk and doo-wop that dive into topics such as taking drugs, having sex, and other regular teenage activities.
