Why didn't John release I Dunno sooner?

I get that a song may not fit with the theme you're going for in an album, but why didn't John release I Dunno as a single before? I personally felt the earlier versions were way better, especially this version. Maybe he didn't see potential in it?

Anyone else like this demo version of Black Don't Glow more than the one in Rip This?

Eraserhead by Dayfiction (FFO BDOD, Wavves, Oasis)

Hi there, My band just released a new single. I’ve been heavily inspired by Johns music and he’s easily been the biggest influence for how I even approach the music too, I record everything myself, use usb mics from time to time and mix and everything myself. If you are looking for stuff that sounds similar to GB City or his self titled I believe you would be into our stuff.

I recorded all the tracks in garage band similar to how a lot of these lofi bands started out. Hope you’ll check it out and like the sounds!

Porcelain Bud by Dayfiction

Dayfiction - Porcelain Bud - Spotify

Dayfiction - Porcelain Bud - Bandcamp

Hey there,

I put out my first EP in December and thought it would be cool to show it off in this subreddit because all of my writing is super inspired by Bass Drum of Death. I remember finding 'Crawling After You' on GTA 5 and ever since being utterly obsessed with the band to the point where I was inspired to start my own band that I now write, record, and tour in. I would appreciate it if you all could check it out and let me know what you think!

Thanks

I need help to found a song called : my baby is laying on the ground

I found this article in which they mention three sigles, two of them can be found on YouTube but I have not found the second. By any chance, there is no one who has it? https://bagofsongs.com/tag/john-barretts-bass-drum-of-death/

Bass drum of death always hits different in the summer

Was so excited to bump the new album in the summer sun on the highway or wherever. I like it a lot more now it is definitely as good at their others.

Drum setups?

I figured that the BDOD subreddit was the place to ask a question like this. How does Ian get that great “garage” sound to his drum in their recordings. I happen to be an aspiring garage rocker myself and think that these tricks might help us get the sound down to a science.

What happened to their song, Change?

A while back BDOD dropped a song on Spotify called Change with cover art that was a picture of a storm. I can’t remember how long it was on there but I listened to it quite a bit when it first came out. Not long after, it was no longer available for play. I’ve tried looking online to see if there was ever any reasoning from the band or any outlets why it got taken off but I could never find the answer. Does anyone know if there is somewhere to still listen to this song and/or the reason for its unavailability?

2022 Set List?

Going to the show in Denver on Monday night, was wondering if anyone who’s seen a show earlier could give an idea of what songs and albums he’s been playing

A THRIFTY novel that I wrote while listening to Bass Drum of Death's entire discography 7+ times over

I listened to Bass Drum of Death on repeat the ENTIRE time I wrote this novel. I think it bled into the paper, or at least got some gloopy red smears on the pages. I decided to say fukc consumerism and 'oh, hi' capitalism and I made it free on Amazon!

If you love an edgy angsty read check it out! It's called 'The Gluttonous Feeding of Existential Angst'

Does anyone know if the 2013 vinyls sold by Innovative Leisure still come with the posters? Or should I buy an old one off Discogs?
