from the school of arty ’90s San Diego hardcore, locals Batwings get

EP Review from City Beat
It's not quite the "Extra Special Good" recognition we got in the same issue two years ago, but it's a good laugh.
Too much time in El Centro will make anyone a little crazy. Instead of shooting highway signs or cooking bathtub meth, Batwings turned their tumbleweed ennui into experimental post-punk cacophony. There are moments of fractured inspiration here, but a loose interpretation of the line between noise-as-music and noise-as-migraine suggests the band should worry less about remembering to “save” and more about knowing when to hit “delete.” MS/batwingskillyou.
