THIN WHITE ROPE
West Coast alt-rockers whose “desert rock” sound featured twin guitars and a hint of twisted psychedelia.
Thin White Rope was founded in Davis, California in 1984. Although the time and place
of their formation aligned them with both the Paisley Underground and roots rock movements,
the group quickly staked out its own musical territory, divining their own unique brand
of dark, surreal, desert rock. Thin White Rope was led by singer/guitarist Guy Kyser,
whose harsh, tightly coiled vocals and unsettling lyrics combined to give the band its edge;
in the group's first incarnation, Kyser was joined by guitarist Roger Kunkel,
bassist Kevin Staydohar (soon replaced by Steven Tesluk), and drummer Jozef Becker.

RECORD EX but (please, read above description)
SLEEVE NEAR EX but (please, see pictures and read above description)
The Rope's frame of reference (no surprise to longtime fans) draws from '60s West Coast folk rock (and like-minded '80s practitioners),
but with darker underpinnings and with an unpretty lead growler in vocalist/guitarist Guy Keyser. As a songwriter, Keyser
(with help from bassist John von Feldt and guitarist Roger Kunkel) is hip without being condescending and occasionally
(e.g. "Mr. Limpet"'s Don Knotts imagery) show a wickedly funny sense of humor...They're more interested in challenging
their audience rather than simply regurgitating the same tired riffs that have propelled many of their compatriots
into hockey arenas. There's tons of good stuff here...(AllMusic)
