Second Bass

Recorded and Produced in San Marcos, TX and Kansas City, MO, Kevin Sikes and Brian Schwabauer's rebranded duet, Bassless Ideas, is back at it again with their sophomore EP. A timely piece that no one asked for, Second Bass captures the sounds of growing up, the throws of being a band on the verge of chart-topping discovery, and why even goodbyes can sound sweet.

Combining coffee house rock with a healthy dose of synths, brass, and banging drums, it's their most honest, risk-taking, and non-selling record to date. Take the steal. Second Bass is open for your audio enjoyment.

913/512 (Home is Where the Bass is)

Life is Like a Box of Chocolates

Classic wisdom dominates this track on why it's always better to roll on in life without taking yourself too seriously. Featuring Alex Brainard on trumpet.

We Don't Ask No More

Why can't everyone be famous? This song tackles the question that has plagued us ever since Rebecca Black became a household name. Featuring Andrew Trites on piano.
