Tire Kicking

We tried to get the effect on the bass guitar of a cabinet with at least one blown speaker (nearly no low end). Therefore, we added a second cleaner bass track with more bottom end much lower in the mix. This is the only Tourniquet song ever recorded with 2 bass guitar tracks.
The snare drum has that garage sound - very open - the bottom head having very little contact with the snares and the top head cranked as tight as it would go. Luke and Aaron trade off all the vocals - Aaron starts.
