Updated: Battles live in SG, MY & THA in Mar
"This New York quartet gives ancient prog-rock moves a makeover – and a kick in the pants." That's how Rolling Stone describes Battles, who are perhaps the best techno rock band out there. Their sound is wholly unique, with a mix of frenzied, robotic vocals and tight, pulsating electro/acoustic riffs and beats all topped off with ecstatically catchy melodies.
Battles have been described as "techno-rock", "experimental robot rock" and "math rock", to name a few, but in reality their sound is almost indescribable. It's a foray into the unknown. One thing is for certain though, Battles have won critics and fans over with their tight synth grooves and cartoonish, futuristic, alien-like tunes.
