BATTERY EYES
Battery Eyes are a trio from Minneapolis that seamlessly mixes the ferocity and desperation of the best punk rock of the past with a new and unpredictable slant melding post-punk, surf and garage-rock, all wrapped around lyrics focusing on the plight and helplessness of the human race. Battery Eyes have put out two full-length albums since 2021, and they are preparing to release their third album, Zero Three, very soon. Battery Eyes music will likely appeal to fans of: Fugazi, At The Drive In, Death From Above 1979, Amyl and the Sniffers, METZ, Hot Snakes, and Husker Du.
