Bib

Bib is a group from Omaha, Nebraska. It is described as a synthpop band in the available facts, while also being associated with hardcore and punk in the descriptive text. The group is known for a loud, abrasive sound, with heavily distorted riffs and heavily processed vocals that give the music a noisy, unsteady character.

The band is identified with Omaha’s punk and hardcore scene rather than the city’s better-known musical references. Its early material is described as a demo built around an “everything louder than everything else” approach, with guitar work that is heavy and dense enough to sound like an avalanche when the low end comes in.

Live, Bib sometimes performs with three guitar players, extending its wall-of-sound style on stage. The group’s sound is also marked by squirming, effected vocals that push it toward a stranger, more abstract edge within hardcore and punk.
