Bass Drum of Death is the brainchild of John Barrett, an indie rock musician from Mississippi. The band's name comes from its early days, when Barrett would perform solo with only an electric guitar and a bass drum around 2008, when he started the project. Soon after, Colin Sneed was recruited to play the drums full-time and the duo began cranking out noise-riddled garage rock nuggets full of lo-fi distortion and a punk rock pace. Bass Drum of Death released its debut LP, entitled GB City, in 2011, and has been touring the world and collaborating with the likes of the Odd Future collective ever since.
