Heavy Americana - United States
Hailing from Carolina’s storied Blue Ridge Mountains, Bask came together in the fall of 2013. Guitarist Ray Worth, drummer Scott Middleton, bassist Jesse Van Note and guitarist/vocalist Zeb Wright produce sounds that reflect their lush yet rugged Appalachian habitat.
The band’s upcoming fourth album is an inter-dimensional Western that digs its heels into their trailblazing Heavy Americana by swirling between raw, metallic energy and country twang.
After a smoking hot tour with their labelmates and fellow North Carolinians Weedeater, Bask are now ready to turn over a different kind of leaf. The Asheville natives will release their fourth album later this year. But first, the band are looking back at one of their influences.
Hurricane Helene cancelled their first European tour of the decade, but Bask are closing out 2024 with some good old-fashioned home cooking to go along with brand new jams.
BASK, the torchbearers of progressive psychedelic rock, are setting forth on a pilgrimage across Europe in 2024, carrying with them the echoes of their third and most cinematic album, ‘III.’ This tour promises not just a series of concerts but an experience that will transport audiences through the peaks and valleys of musical storytelling.
Bask have taken us on quite a long, strange and head-banging trip. Ten years ago, the band came thundering down from the Blue Ridge Mountains with their heavy, heady and heartfelt vision on Americana.
