The dudes of Mississippi screaming lo-fi rock duo Bass Drum of Death have been called a lot of things--"dirty", "nasty", "quasi-Ramones"--but "refined" is definitely not one of them. Really though, what can you expect from a garage rock duo that wrote and recorded their debut LP all by themselves with nothing but drums, a guitar, a USB mic, a computer, and a hell of a lot of patience? But it all works in their favor; their first release, GB City, is a stand-out triumph of gritty, sweaty grunge rock in a sea of autotune and bleepy-bloopies in our post-Jobsian, Nu-Garage-Band society.To gear up for the launch of their European tour this November, John and Colin have released a new track and, as per their "devil may care" approach to music (and just about everything), the track is scuzzy, brash, unmastered, and entitled "I Dunno".Stream or download "I Dunno", check out GB City on Fat Possum Records if you haven't already, and peep the EU tour dates below!BASS DRUM OF DEATH TOUR DATES11/04 UK - Brighton @ Green Door11/05 UK - Bristol @ The Croft11/07 UK - Manchester @ The Castle11/08 UK - London @ The Lexington11/09 BE - Antwerpen @ Trix11/10 FR - Paris @ Point Ephemere11/11 FR - Metz @ Les Trinitaires11/12 FR/DE - Offenburg @ 361°/Spitalkeller11/13 CH - Bienne @ Drahtwerk11/15 CH - Zurich @ Mascotte11/16 CH - Dudingen @ Bad Bonn11/17 CH - Bern @ I.S.C.11/18 IT - Scandian RE @Corallo11/19 IT - Rome - Psych Out Party @ Teatrolo Spazio11/20 IT - Fucecchio (Fi) @ Limonaia11/22 DE - Nurnberg @ Stereo11/23 DE - Tubingen @ Epplehaus11/24 BE - Oostende @ Zwerver11/25 NL - Utrecht @ Le Guess Who?
