Where have HOT WATER MUSIC been my whole life? Bass Teacher REACTS to "Drag My Body"

---------------------------------------------------
➡️ I thought Hot Water Music was some record label for awhile, and I’m glad they aren’t because this was one of the catchiest, emotive songs I’ve heard in a long time. You all unanimously requested “Drag My Body” from the band’s 2012 release “Exister”, and I feel so fortunate to have been introduced to both the band and the BRILLIANT bass playing from Jason Black. Flat out, this song is a masterclass on "forward" bass playing that doesn't ONCE overpower the rest of the band, and instead elevates the song into a full-range melodic masterpiece. I discuss Jason's approach to playing bass chords, his clever timing when injecting tasty bass fills, and how his grooves gradually blossom as the song moves along. I could write another paragraph about vocalist Chuck Ragan - his voice instantly grabbed me within seconds. I listened to this song 3 more times back-to-back right after I finished this video, and I haven't done that in quite awhile. 😍🙌🏼

I decided to save a few bucks and get the EP. The next day I went back to the record store and bought all three studio albums and two splits. I don't think I took those out of my CD changer until MP3 became a thing.

One of my favorite aspects of HWM is the interplay between the 2 guitarists Chris Wollard and Chuck Ragan, both of whom sing, and the bass. Oftentimes all 3 are doing something different from each other but complementary. Their earlier records were much more raw and had a more experimental flair. One of my favorite bands of all time.

Hot Water Music has 2 guitarist vocalists songwriters and when 1 of them focused on solo stuff, the other 3 members of the band did a side project called The Draft. “Drag My Body” is Chuck singing, while with The Draft song I suggested you will get the other songwriter of Hot Water Music in Chris, while still getting Jason Black’s great bass work.

I got inspired to play bass because of HWM and RATM. I believe I was first introduced to a Music Man bass because of Jason Black, playing their HWM song called Trademark - check this one and see how cool that sounds to someone starting to play bass. Later I realized Tim Commerford used it a lot with RATM as well. All this happened around 1999. In 2011 I managed to get myself my Sting Ray 4 with maple neck because of these guys and I've been playing it ever since. Heck, one day I might get myself a G&L Asat bass too!

@@abomb9299 yeah, that’s a jam for sure and I think a more technical bass line, but I think 100 Proof has a better feel. What do I know though? Bro Hymn and Iron Man are the only two songs I can play, haha!

chucks voice is a legend in its own right. hwm has absolutely the best rhythm section and song writing and watching them live you'd never expect the energy that chuck throws out.

The first time I heard chuck growl "raise your voice in swells" in the song turnstile I was hooked. Check out Rock Singer it has an awesome base riff and chuck vocals.

I've been listening to them since around 1999, and I swear you can hear them grow album by album. It was always there, they just kinda got all together as they went.

Now check out Leatherface who shared an album with Hot Water Music in 1999. Here's what I wrote about them in my article The Top 15 Punk Albums published on Analog Planet site. " Mush, the last LP on our list of the top 15 punk albums of all time, certainly takes a backseat to none. And I'm not alone in my praise of Leatherface. Trouser Press called them "By far England's finest, most exciting punk band of the 90's," and The Guardian chimed in "the greatest British punk band of the modern era." Leatherface was launched in Sunderland, England in 1988 by singer Frankie Stubbs and guitarist Dickie Hammond. Stubbs' raspy voice, recalling Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister, is the first thing remarked upon by most people hearing the band. I love his voice, worldly wise and full of emotion. Hammond is an ace guitarist, Stubbs also plays guitar. Together they weave the richest layered musical tapestries, both in words and music. No punk band wrote and sang lyrics at times so emotional, so poetic, so melancholy, so passionate, so raw, so enigmatic and open to myriad interpretations. Steve Charlton on bass and Andrew Laing on drums are rock solid. Leatherface's first album, Cherry Knowle, with a picture of the inside of the Cherry Knowle mental hospital on the cover, was released in 1989, followed in 1990 by Fill Your Boots. Both are fine efforts but in 1991 came Mush, and that was perfection. Top notch production, beautifully recorded, fifteen absolutely wonderful songs. The group can play hard charging punk like "How Lonely" and "Winning" then turn around and play multi-layered slow tempo like “Not Superstitious" and kill it every time. These are not your average simple punk songs. They take some effort on the part of the listener to fully appreciate. Maybe that's why they never achieved the commercial success so many of their fans wished for them. I could never imagine their songs receiving mass airplay. Stubbs was asked about this but seemed content to just create the music for whomever appreciated it. In total the band released ten studio albums, the last being The Stormy Petrel in 2010. In a testament to their greatness, that album showed no decline whatsoever in creativity in over 20 years. While most of the lawyer/corporate controlled "punk" bands of the last two decades have completely faded from memory, Leatherface has only grown in stature. With each passing day more and more people discover this unique band and that surely warms the cockles of me heart."

Leatherface is criminally under rated. 'The Stormy Petrel' is a masterpiece. I compare them to Jawbreaker, but without the brush with commercial success.

Those split records are such a great idea. I'm surprised you don't see that in mainstream. It opens you up to something you may have never listed to otherwise.
