BATS are a group of mammals comprised of various molecules based mainly on carbon. The Dublin based band began their musical quest in 2006, releasing an EP 'Cruel Sea Scientist' in 2007 , their debut LP 'Red In Tooth & Claw', produced by Converge's Kurt Ballou, in 2009 and ‘The Sleep Of Reason’ produced by These Arms Are Snakes’ Chris Common in 2012. Sporting their own brand of science inspired metal/post-hardcore and danceable post-punk, they've played support to such big-name acts as The Locust, These Arms Are Snakes, The Jesus Lizard, Gang Gang Dance, Sebadoh and Chrome Hoof. With the latest release of their third studio album ‘ALTER NATURE’, BATS seek to continue their ongoing quest of promoting science and reason while combating superstition and pseudoscience with blastable riffage and existential grooves.
