What better time than now to discuss two piece rock bands with the announcement of the new Royal Blood album and the release of their new song, which wails, 'Lights Out'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSznpyG9CHY Obviously a couple of the more prominent examples include The White Stripes and The Black Keys.....but who else is out there that I should look into? I'm not sure how Death from Above 1979 got past me.....but they have an awesome sound as well. It's really impressive what some of these bands are able to do with only two people. Some very creative stuff.

Shoutout to Chicago staple Local H, the first band I ever crowdsurfed to (Edgefest '96, Omaha). They're still doing stuff, though the drumsticks have changed hands a few times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2Oe5YKhzCE

Blood Red Shoes are really good, and probably pretty similar to the bands the OP name-checked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD0cT6nyv_8 Edit: Oh also The Pack a.d. have that bluesy-garage White Stripes thing going. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KnpM8k86Po Jeff Wiiver fucked around with this message at 03:50 on Apr 20, 2017 |

Listen to Senyawa. It will make a great conversation piece at your next dinner party!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT8sZyXN8Nk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLw659ze9aI I have never watched a video of them before, and I am actually a little surprised there is only one instrument. I thought it was two.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUNhR35-HPU Excellent 6-string bass and drums sludge/funeral doom duo from Seattle. Both on vocals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_-XDDPCu28 Absolutely insane prog duo from Japan. Also bass and drums. Optimum Gulps fucked around with this message at 02:20 on Apr 24, 2017 |

I'm partial to FOSSILS if you want something pretty aggressive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7TXEvUjCzI NoMeansNo's Why Do They Call Me Mr. Happy? was done as a two member album. It's a studio album so it has the sound of a three piece, it's still great though.
