Battle
Signed to label: Transgressive
Battle are a London based indie four-piece with bleak, post-punk tendencies. Edgy, cyclical guitar hooks combine with angular rhythmic patterns for finely sculpted pop delight.
Coming on strong in 2005, the band released their debut single on Fierce Panda in April with another single release 'Demons' in September 05. A download track 'Wicked Owl' was put on the band's website as a nice xmas present, and currently they're recording their debut record with another single out in March this year.
Battle are:
Jason Bavanandan – Vocals/ Guitar
Oliver Davies – Drums
James Ellis – Guitar
Tim Scudder – Bass
