The White Stripes

Jack / Meg White blues-garage; Seven Nation Army is the stadium chant riff.

Formed 1997. Early Sympathy for the Record Industry releases and White Blood Cells kept recording raw; Elephant (Liam Watson / Toe Rag) hit mainstream without adding bass. Seven Nation Army (2003) is the listed riff—octave pedal illusion of bass. Proof that early-2000s rock radio still answered to garage reduction, not only nu-metal density.
