Who is Batbait, and how do they make music that is so intense and strangely beautiful? (Because if we finally let rock music speak for itself, it would say with great certainty that it wishes to be played by Batbait). A sound that is far more than distorted guitars and driving rhythms. Here, sound unfolds that not only scratches the surface, but reveals deeper layers. Glitter in the noise. Against the Glotz. When the patriarchy falters, Batbait resonates. Accessibility is renegotiated when they shred their songs. DIY is not a style here, but a lived reality. The four musicians uncompromisingly develop their own musical language, free from conventional boundaries: Distortion, reverb swathes and clicking rhythms interweave to create a complex, multi-layered experience. Music, lyrics, visual art and aesthetics shape their work, in which self-determination and independence take center stage. Batbait show how rock music doesn't just need a lot of space, but can be loud and angry and at the same time reflective, joyful and sensitive.

The combination of sound and content creates a sound that defies all rock sub-genre boundaries and goes its own way - radically and independently. Between power, nonchalance and understatement: their first album 'Dirty ClothesÄ (Irascible Records, 2022) will be followed by "Working in the Garden" in October 2025. Meanwhile, Batbait even cook pasta in cold water.
