Sometimes you need a little bit of variety and Battleme gives his listeners plenty of that. Even so, his music doesn’t get so vastly different that there’s no flow between songs. He has a unique way to mesh different styles in the way artists such as Beck can. The pleasantly high pitched vocals of Matt Drenik bring everything together. While one song will breakdown in an electronic rock way like the last time you heard Daft Punk, another will sit back on the acoustic guitar in folk fashion. Matt’s voice combines with carefully written songs and masterful production (with help from Timothy Turner of Ghostland Observatory) to set the stage for the three piece live band to give a phenomenal and intimate performance at the Bunk Bar this Saturday night with Bike Thief. – Colin Hudson
