Some of the names on this album might be familiar. Swarm of Bats is made up of four former members of Brandtson. But this isn’t your Daddy’s emo band. In fact, its not emo at all. Swarm of Bats is going for a garage rock apocalypse, and I think they might have accomplished just that. The music is energetic and fuzzy with a great swagger and attitude. I am loving some of the nasty bass lines being cranked out like in the song “Just Say It.” With song titles like “Zombies,” “(R U) Street Legal,” and “Neurotic City” – you know the band is out to have fun and enjoy themselves while taking you along for the ride. The band overall exudes a great chemistry that can be heard in every song. You can listen to the whole thing online or name your own price (even nothing).
