Album info
“There’s always been a thick political streak in the Bassholes music. It’s clever and usually pretty funny, with lots and lots of class injustice themes. Kind of a creepier Kurt Vonnegut with a thing for Takashi Miike movies. Don Howland, the brains behind the Bassholes once sang “I hate the rich man, and I think I’d rather have roaches than a boss man telling me what the fuck to do.” And that seemed pretty heavy 12 years ago, but it seems pretty quaint now, what with the rich unabashedly and unceremoniously running this motherfucker into the dirt, and fast.
So, over the course of 2008/2009, the Bassholes came down to Columbus Discount Recording and cut “…and without a name.” It is a full LP, a choice slab of all new Bassholes material, and it is a political record through and through, but there ain’t nothing funny about it. This record is angry. Angrier and meaner than any record the Bassholes have ever done by about a mile. I’m talking (Crass’s) “Yes Sir, I Will” angry.
Broad axioms like “A rich man can’t ever get to heaven” have been replaced with brutally specific lines like “The car bomb in my backseat lit up the sky, a wonderful Sunday to die” and “Money’s worthless, spend it, lend it.” And it kind of goes on like that. Don spends this record spitting seething bile and hopeless frustration, the likes of which I’ve never heard.
They are playing hard and fast to match. Bim Thomas, long time drummer for the Bassholes and This Moment In Black History, rips through this record. Like, totally fucking rips through it. He turns in what might be the most thoughtful and well executed mix of hardcore/punk/blues/rock and roll drumming recorded in the last decade. It’s not surprising, Bim is one of underground rock and roll’s great drummers, and he’s killing this one.
This is the Bassholes at the most deranged they have ever been. Might be the first great record of the second great depression. It is our honor to present the newest Bassholes record “…and without a name”.
