Battles (soundtrack, track, band)

without vocals = amazing

with vocals = a bit annoying, but still tight

Battles...wow

I saw them back in March with Lightning Bolt and it was so intense. They put on a great show and Ian Williams is one indie rocks best guitarists ever.

Im seeing them at Pitchfork Music Fest this summer... Im stoked!

ahhh lucky. I wanna go to that. I saw battles with the twilight sad a month or so ago. So good. This band is damn amazing. The new stuff blows the older stuff away. Much more complex.

If I was shít deep in drugs then it's brilliant! The music is pretty good but c'mon, those vocals are far too gimmicky.

cardboard adolescent · 11-07-2007, 08:06 PM

all of it feels gimmicky to me so it fits well

it's like mika goes math rock

I would like it a lot more with different vocals.
Don't they have members from Helmet?
Seems like a big step from metal.

guy from Don Caballero, guy from Helmet, guy from some other band.

I think it might be the drummer who was in Helmet. Maybe not, duno. Regardless the drummer is ****ing incredible.

Im not gonna lie, I was pumped about seeing these guys live... but when I did I was a little disappointed. They were hyped up to me, and they seemed off, or not mixing well together that night... maybe a bad live show.
