The Bats — artist
The Bats are a New Zealand band known for their jangly indie pop sound, characterized by melodic guitar lines and harmonious vocals. Formed in 1982, their music is influenced by the Dunedin sound, a subgenre of indie rock that emerged from the New Zealand city of the same name, drawing from bands like The Clean and The Chills. The Bats' consistent lineup and collaborative songwriting approach have defined their enduring presence in the indie music scene.
