Band spotlight: Bass Drum of Death

Nerve Jamming, the first song on Bass Drum of Death’s debut album, hits you in the face. The band — just two guys from Mississippi — doesn’t back down either. Every song on GB City is a scorcher.

Think of White Stripes or Black Keys at their most raucous points. Like Death from Above 1979 or Japandroids, Bass Drum of Death shows how much sound one guy on guitar and another on drums can make.

The band opens for Japandroids tonight at Schubas. That’s an awesome doubleheader.
