BATCOMPUTER was a band formed solely as a temporary means to vent the painful hurricane within. When the lyrical message got redundant and they were tired of turning knobs, whining about ex-girlfriends and breaking equipment, they decided their short-lived life was well-lived and complete. They were from Annapolis, MD and made up of members of the post-rock octet Sawhorse, a spastic screamo band called Age Sixteen, Annapolis's own space-rock outfit A Perfect Kiss, tech/noise grinders Lilu Dallas, and maybe some others that were too horrible to bother mentioning. They had a pretty DIY attitude toward things, but who knew they wouldn't sell out like crazy if offered a sweet record deal from Capitol or sponsorship from Monster Energy Drinks. The band enjoyed drowning everything they performed in so many effects that you couldn't really understand what was going on. As long as the emotion and the haunting melody was still somewhat audible, their goals were being accomplished. The lyrics were not mirrors of who they were but stories full of exaggerations and poetic curve-balls in order to portray their selfish and/or shameful emotional state we all sometimes find ourselves in. They recorded a song for a Mineral tribute album to be released sometime this winter by Crank! Records. Batcomputer loved and appreciated all who support them.
