Dublin band Bats were formed in 2006, with the same intensity as Adebisi Shank, they could well be Ireland’s best kept secret. More bands like Bats need to write songs as snappy as the opener from their first EP Cruel Sea Scientist titled “Death to Kent Hovind”, heck it should be made compulsory. Despite the song being only just over a minute and a half long, this aggressive attack on the American’s young earth creationist does its job in portraying the incredibly black humour Bats convey in their music. Where Bats excel is in their approach to their song writing. So you get bursts of weird, almost pop, madness alongside heavier riffs and quirky, bouncy, little passages all mixed up with their unusual approach to vocals.
