Mississippi native, John Barret (above right) was performing as a one man band with a guitar and a bass drum up until 2008 when he started Bass Drum of Death. According to Wikipedia, “his music was strongly influenced at the time by Dr. Dre“. Nice.

Click to hear their album, ‘Rip This’, on Spotify.
