Other no-bass bands?

evollove · 08.27.2018, 07:56 AM

Other than Sleater?

I mean "rock" bands (in the broadest sense)

Oh yeah. Doors.

Any others?

While Stripes ain’t got no bass

Severian · 08.27.2018, 04:58 PM

No guitar bands that sound like they have guitar but don’t are fun too (lookin’ at you, Three-Mile Pilot)

The Soup Nazi · 08.27.2018, 05:19 PM

Yes. Definitely.
Both.

Jesus how did I forget HELLA?
There is no Hella anymore, of course, but for a time — before Death Grips was even a glimmer in God’s eye — Hella was on some insane shit. In their earliest years, they sounded the demon spawn Rodan and Slayer had after going back in time and having a three-way with This Heat. Or something. Goddamn magical.

Also Yeah Yeah Yeahs. YYYs were pretty damn good for a couple albums, and before “Maps” caught on, they were ferocious live. Just insane. Seriously twisted punky shit to show the Stokes who was boss.

Isn’t Explosoons in the Sky bassless too?

Those two Mary Timony Band albums don't feature a lot of bass... seemly like mostly guitar and drums. Those albums are fantastic

evollove · 08.28.2018, 10:38 AM

Apparently Slanted and Enchanted has no bass whatsoever. Not sure I 100% buy that for every single song, but it's possible.

_tunic_ · 08.28.2018, 12:06 PM

Psychic Hearts

A Thousand Leaves (minus 2 songs)

Whaaaat. I don’t but that shit. Fuck that. Really?
It literally sounds like it *opens* with a bass riff.

evollove · 08.28.2018, 01:57 PM

Some myth-making by Malkamus, perhaps. He's insisted in a few interviews there's no bass.

I guess one can get bass-y sounds from a guitar. But...yeah, I'm not totally buying it.

noisereductions · 08.28.2018, 04:23 PM

I knew there was no bass player on Slanted, but dammit it sounds like there is bass on some of those songs for sure. Huh.

I think the word you are looking for is "toothless."
