The Bats, Daddys Highway, is a classic New Zealand album. One of the first full length from Kiwi Rock Icon Label Flying Nun, but not only that, an album which 23 years after the effect, still sounds fresh and vital. The Bats are a band which is unique, theyve never changed the lineup, the newest songs sound exactly like the earliest songs, i.e. Bats songs. Bats songs are Bats songs, they dont sound like anyone else but plenty of bands sound like the Bats. If you havent guessed yet, Im a fan, but Im a music fan and not parochial but a lover of great jangle pop. If you love Dream syndicate, Paisley Underground, The Jam, Echo & the Bunnymen then take a close look at the lo-Fi Bats from Christchurch New Zealand. robert Scott ex Clean is the man but the true star is Paul Kean who plays melodic bass and sings harmony and Kaye Woodward who plays guitar and sings harmony. Sometimes the Scott, Woodward harmony is almost breathtaking and the guitar attack with Kayes rhythm and Roberts lead is brilliantly simple and fantastic. sonngs for grownups. If this review sounds generic well thats because it is but irrelevently, every album is a classic, and they are an album band, classic. vinylrecords.ca/bats-daddys-highway-1987-zealand-indie-p-17318.html
