Battles
Battles is an American experimental rock duo formed in 2002 in New York City by Ian Williams (formerly of Don Caballero and Storm & Stress). The current line-up is composed of guitarist/keyboardist Williams and drummer John Stanier (formerly of Helmet, Tomahawk and The Mark of Cain). Former members include composer/vocalist Tyondai Braxton and guitarist/bassist Dave Konopka. The band has released four studio albums to date, with the most recent Juice B Crypts being released in 2019. The band is highly regarded by critics, particularly for their work from the mid-2000s to the 2010s, as well as integrating Avant-garde and experimental electronic influences. In 2007, Pitchfork wrote that "Battles have done more to extend the idea of a flesh-and-blood band enhanced by computer technology than anyone since the late, lamented Disco Inferno."
