Nice! Great voice!
You should check out a band called Clatter when you get a chance? You might find a kinship...
Thank you! I was directed to this band today. They're awesome! Sounds like they may not be active right now but we will be reaching out.

Ohh....bi-amp each amp, each PU!Awesome! I was a suggestion like this that started my curiosity about how bass can be bi-amped, so good looking out! I'll look into it
4 amps! Stereo, bi-amp!
Now we’re rocking!
haha, that's pretty much where Royal Blood is these days lol. Multiple amps. Nasty stuff!Ohh....bi-amp each amp, each PU!

I like it alot, but wondering what you would do to keep it from being one-dimensional. After a few songs, where do you go tonally?
Really good question. The "solos" are the most challenging. They can sound the same if I'm not careful. That's we're having the right pedals come in handy. Having the ability to add some dynamics is super important. Whether its different distortion textures or 'pitch shifting' pedals. Both the guitar side and bass side can have texture so that really helps. We dont use tracks so we have to use everything at our disposal which is a constant learning process. My drummer has worked to become waaay better at harmonies and back ups in general. So there's all that and I suppose more haha

Nice work. Always impresses me to no end when someone pushes the envelope. (Good vox too!! I like!)
Back in the 70s, a progrock band I was in had a couple of songs that were two basses plus two voices. It worked out pretty well and got a positive reaction when played out. But that was two songs out of about thirty spread over three sets. We would never have had the kahunas to attempt to base a full set (let alone a band!) on nothing else. So bravo for the courage to go your own way too!

Sub'd and favorited. I really liked it, and I don't usually enjoy this type of music.
Post more.

Very, very nice stuff!!!
While I appreciate DFA and several other bands mentioned, the one that twisted my noodle when I first heard them were the White Stripes. While the recordings use lots of layers and stuff, seeing them live in an intimate venue (lucky me!), really showed me how massive and different a drums-n-guitar duo can sound. The songs don't get repetitive because THE SONGS THEMSELVES are different enough so as to not depend to heavily on the instrumentation.
To put it a different way: a singer-songwriter can sound all the same, just a voice and a guitar, or it can have different colors with the stories shared with the same guitar and voice! You have a huge advantage: Drums, bass/guitar/synth and whatever other sounds you want to make with the bass, and your voice!
Go on! Tell me some stories with your songs!!
Wishing you the very best!!!
PS. Don't underestimate the power of a jew's harp at the right spot!

I dig what you’re doing! I have a soft spot for the unconventional. “Everybody over there is doing that. I’ll be over here doing this.” Send yourself down the rabbit hole with the list below. I’m especially fond of OM, Big Business, and godheadsilo—they lean toward the heavy side of things. godheadsilo does a wicked cover of In the Air Tonight if you want to ease yourself into their stylings....

Thank you! We are not the pioneers of this idea for sure but we absolutely love it and do not feel limited in any bad way. Actually, I feel limited in a good way. We like so many different kinds of music, deciding to go this route limits us to certain sounds,which for us, happens to be a really good thing. Thanks for checking it out and for the good wordsNice work. Always impresses me to no end when someone pushes the envelope. (Good vox too!! I like!)

Awesome! At a quick glance, I have heard a couple few of these but will check the full list. Thumbs up for sure!
Nailing it! What you're mentioning is the path we have 100% chosen and hope we deliver on THE SONGS. It's super cool to have a niche but we have some things to say! haha Thank you for the words!
Drummer and bassist duos rock! My first "band" when I was in high school was a drum and bass duo. My favorite drum and bass duo is Bangladeafy! Ribboncutter, by BANGLADEAFY (My favorite song by them is "Carsick" on the "This is Your Brain on Bugs" album.)
What's crazy is that their bassist is deaf, yet is ridiculously good. My old punk band once played a show with Bangladeafy! several years ago and they absolutely blew my mind and melted my face.
