allighatt0r Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Their (not so) recent single, [url="http://songza.com/z/et5bcd"]A-Punk[/url] has a bass line that i can't seem to stop humming, i plan to go figure it out and play it until it drives everyone in the house mad. Anyone else like this song? Or any other notable basslines in the current charts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Bolton Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 My mum sent me a copy of the album a while ago thinking I'd like it. She wasn't wrong either. It took me a few listens but it's pretty similar to a lot of the music my folks listened to when I was growing up, very reggae/African influenced (think Paul Simon's Graceland and later Talking Heads). The bass line itself is pretty similar to a Bouncing Souls line, the chords are A G and D if that helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was sort of catchy, but a little repetitive if I'm honest. How many nano-seconds did it take you to learn the bassline, then?

ahpook Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 good song. it sounds less 'graceland' and more C86 to my ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu-khag Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I find that bass line hypnotic... class band with a great afrobeat feel to them and I do believe there's not a distortion pedal in sight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
