As crazy as it is by the style they play in, Protest The Hero did this. Granted the members were essentially in middle school when the band started so they had the advantage of youth and ample downtime.

Gareth Williams had zero musical training before This Heat, right? Plus the band's general ethos was pretty learn as you go...

Honestly I need to be unambiguously clear, NO musicianship will ever impress me like Kezia. They had not graduated high school when that record was recorded. Now, I'm certainly not saying creativity is a race (it definitely isn't, so if you need to work on your thing for 60 years before putting it out, power to you), but that's just... superhuman. The technicality is unparalleled and they were kids! :eek:

If we're talking bands who developed into awesome shit from/during high school limited musicianship, then Slint, obviously.

Whenever I read the word Slint I heard the riff from "Nosferatu Man" in my head, clear as a bell.
