Bands that use baritone guitars

[space6oy]

uSSSy is awesome and fits your description pretty damn well! Drummer and baritone with quarter scale frets and scalloped fretboard from Russia playing noiserock with some eastern influences. Sum crazy shit (my favorite track):

If you don't like the eastern music part, check out their older self-titled album for more straight up noiserock. Also, check out that baritone:

they need to do a show w/ lightning bolt. so similar IMO. more psychotic guitar, less psychotic drumming.

I live for reasons to post Conifer tracks:

Yeah, the older stuff is pretty Lightning Bolt-ish for sure, but I think they are drifting away from that with their more eastern inspired stuff now. Would still be a great bill though!

ahhhh man and this just made me think of one of my favorite albums by some totally cool dudes that i haven't listened to in forever!

buddy of mine & i went to see them at beachland in cleveland, turned out their agent had done about the shittiest job ever advertising their tour and it was DEAD. they asked if anyone in the like 7 person audience had any requests, i asked them to play F cat and they sighed & told me it's like their only song they can't do live. then after their set they told the two of us if we made the trip to their next show they'd make sure we were on a guest list regardless of the audience, which we did. really nice guys.

(& they used one standard & one baritone, no bass.)

Ohmygawd PINEBENDER! I never got deep into their albums, but the song "Kick It" was a total staple for me for years. I should go back and dig into them again...

Thrice

like... I can't get over how much i LOVE Thrice

i just ordered all four discs of Alchemy Index and it's one of my favourite records of all the time (as a whole)

not exclusively baritones, but still...

[gunslinger_burrito]

I dug the Alchemy Index pretty good.

How many of us are inspired to build a new baritone now?

Also, I'm taking a sec to say: Mares of Thrace. Girl metal duo, and she only plays baritones. She has a rad Ballou baritone with stereo outs, too. I'd post links and pics but I'm on my phone right now.

AND she's got a better voice for that style of music than a lot of the dudes in the genre. She holds it down live.

Oh yeah:

man i should've thought of mares, when i met therese after one of their shows we chatted about her geetar. custom built by kurt ballou from converge, pretty sweet. & she's a cool chick, regardless. we're facebook buddies.

I just got to check this out. This is one of those moments where I wish I'd known about this band sooner. This is fucking awesome.

[gunslinger_burrito]

After digging through their facebook page, that baritone looks like some kind of mutilated/mutated Eastwood.

[Obulus]

Yup, I did the digging too, pretty sure it is (well, was) one of those sidejack thingies!

Also, Mares of Thrace isn't half bad either, damn! And those Kurt Ballou guitars are so awesome, that baritone
