Shitbass

Shitbass is a genre of music and a music-related subculture which started in Evansville, Indiana with the release of Happy Fascist Italians' "New Rococo Scat Party" in early 2010. Influenced heavily by speedbass and breakcore, Shitbass songs usually time out around the 1:30 mark and revolve around distorted bassdrums, chopped breaks, and heavy sampling of other musical works and records, often using comedic juxtaposition. As such, the genre is incredibly freeform and constantly changing. As of 2011, the genre maintains a limited following, is mostly local to Evansville, Indiana, and is exemplified by "musicians" such as Happy Fascist Italians, Volun Woostion, Camel Boy, Morgan Freeman's Junk, Mr. Inedible, and Cassius Cobblebottom. Shitbass is released through the "Network 24" collective/label; local to Evansville, IN.
