Batwings Catwings "Breathless" (Nick Kirsten, Anthony Espino, dir.)

From the dancey yet dissonant sounds of their 2011 debut EP, Peacock Collection, tothearpeggiating Radio 7", to the poppy punk of the Whoa EP, their new record from Broken World Media, Coast to Coast, is the heart of Batwings Catwings—being worn on their sleeves. This band was raised on indie rock of the '90s and aren't shy about it—their 12" flaunts their unabashed love of poppy, athletic post-hardcore with more than an ounce of nostalgia.
