Bat Scratch (2023)
Calgary, AB
The footage of Bat Scratch’s 2022 debut basement show was an instant viral hit, due in no small part to the primal energy of its 7-year-old singer, Robbie. The crushing flurry of riffs and non-stop beatdown drums unleashed by this rabid punk collective is precise, exhilarating, and as satisfying as chocolate milk.
