Bash The
Band is a three man band from El Paso Texas. They have not followed me on
Twitter, but singer and guitar player Sebastian Felix did, and that was enough
to get them on the list.
Depending
on where you are looking, I have seen them described as alternative rock or Texas metal. I tend to agree more with
the rock side. They sound their most metal on a cover of the Cranberries'
"Zombie", which seems odd, but I think the cover really works.
I like
their original material a lot. There is a depth to it that seems beyond their
years. I watched the video for "Broken Smile", and was thinking that
the concept seemed more for older people, but then I thought "They have
parents." You don't have to be at a certain age to know about the issues
of that age, though perspective can certainly change. The videos overall are
pretty well executed, though the concepts could be a little more sophisticated.
There is a
lot that is admirable about the band. They have been consistently producing music,
and working with the USO. Based on Facebook, they have made a strong effort to
get their music into local retail stores, which a lot of bands neglect.
I do feel
they could do a better job with the internet. They have their own site, but the
link to the store didn't work. The most complete listings are at ReverbNation,
but the links to Amazon and iTunes there did not work. They are playing with
fuel tomorrow night, which is great, and it is on their Facebook timeline, but
not in their events. I think that they are talented enough that it is worth
making the effort to improve the web side. This is the digital age, so internet
presence is a huge factor.
So, I
actually cannot tell you where to purchase their music, but you can find the
most songs at ReverbNation, and you can find the simplest listening experience
at Soundcloud. You can also find some music and vote for them at ArtistSignal: https://artistsignal.com/bash#_=_.
