BATS incredibly idiosyncratic\u00a0and cacophonous yet entirely rousing experimental noise-rock delves into intelligent and complex territory both lyrically and musically, but BATS understand that it need not exclude it from having a raw, rhythmic energy and a strong sense of melody.<\/p>\n<p>This translates perfectly\u00a0into their live shows\u00a0and has seen the band earn\u00a0plaudits and fans playing\u00a0alongside the likes of\u00a0<strong>The Locust, These Arms Are Snakes, The Jesus Lizard, Gang Gang Dance, Sebadoh<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Chrome Hoof<\/strong>. BATS will also play this year&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>ArcTanGent festival<\/strong>\u00a0with further live dates TBA.<\/p>\n<p>7 years in the making, the band have purposefully set about honing and crafting these tracks with precision and dedication. If you\u2019re lucky enough to have heard BATS before or have even seen them live, then this incredibly strong third effort should be instantly recognisable as a consummate and direct snapshot of the devastatingly efficient unit; let alone as another step towards wherever the band might take themselves.
