Bats In The Basement

About Me

Growing up on the very hard streets of ghetto inner city suburbs this band erupted out of nowhere grabbing the world by its balls, twisting and shouting "I WANT MORE!". After coming out with their first single "F*@ Your Brains" on a four track with a Squire Guitar and a First Act kit these people went from virtual nobodies to being signed by the biggest record company in history - Platinum Intergalactic Megasize Records at a reported 3 billion dollar deal.
Bats in the Basement is a cultural phenomenon and has inspired limitless bands and is contested that without Bats in the Basement that rock and roll would be completely gone, dominated by rap and R&B.
After releasing over 14 years the band is still going strong and is in the studio recording another album with a working title of, "Spiked Boot to Face" or "Drunk? Never Met Her!"
This site is maintained by a staff and not the actual band. If you wish to contact the band you may leave messages and they *MIGHT* tell us to leave a response. Check your local Irish Pubs for these monsters of music!
The song Oi was played live in Los Angeles California and if you listen closely to the end you can hear a fight break out between Herpes and some enraged fan who is stabbed and dies of the stab wound. All recorded live for you, the fans! real editor best profile tools
