Lipstick Terror

Do yourself a favor and check out Lipstick Terror, a really rad band that Carlos used to be the vocalist for.  Lipstick Terror was formed in Mexicali, and existed from 2004-2008. 





"Frenetic rhythms, sinister peals, apocalyptic guitar riffs and Carlos Quintero’s hardcore bellow collide like Britney’s flagging career and her kids’ incipient therapy bills".
- Alternative Press (USA)

"Extraños, contradictorios, enigmáticos e incluso paradójicos, los Lipstick Terror pueden ser llamados muchas cosas, pero sin duda son una banda que se atreve a innovar, que no se detiene en las fórmulas ya probadas".
- Indie Rocks! (México)
 
"El ruido no sólo aturde y destruye lo que encuentra a su paso, a veces puede ser domado y llevado a lugares más amables convirtiéndolos en algo cercano a una placentera violencia".
- SWITCH (México)
 
"A Mexicali group of bandidos that ripped through a set of fine neo-hardcore without the floor punching, but fully loaded with synths, sexy violence and artistry. These uniformed boys know what they're doing and they do it better than most".
- L.A. RECORD magazine (USA)
 
"Their experimentation with screamo, synth based rock has lead them to SXSW, where they will most probably frighten the daylights out of many unsuspecting music critics. Even if you aren't a fan of hardcore music you should take a listen, the chemistry these guys create is electric".

"Su mezcla de rock-electro-fastcore-gritos-brincos-contorsiones hace que no puedas quitar tus ojos y oídos de encima, te provoca quebrar algo, patear una silla, a tu jefa (de la chamba, obvio), y una serie de impulsos bastante desestresantes".
- Rocksonora Radio (México) 

"Comprobando una vez más que si arriesgas es muy posible que ganes, aún en terrenos tan desconocidos y poco explorados como los que nos muestran en sus canciones. Guitarras, sintes, gritos y espacios especiales para animar una fiesta, es lo que nos entrega este material".

Changes

We'd like to officially announce that our dear friend Carlos Quintero is now the newest member of Batwings, and will be handling vocal duties from here on out. We are all very excited, and are big fans of his other projects - Lipstick Terror, and Chrome Eye, both of Mexicali. He will be in the studio soon with Bryan to record for the new album, which is close to completion & will be released in the very near future.

Sadly, it is unfortunate that we must also announce that Robert will no longer be playing with us. Robert has been playing with Batwings since we started back in 2005, contributing bass, guitar, keyboards, and vocals over the past several years. We will miss him and his talents greatly, but are excited to see what he does in his future musical endeavors. Please check out some of his other projects: Boo Report, Cub and Pony, and Giraffe Ears.
You can still hear Robert on the new record, but we will be adding a new bassist in the next month or so. We'll then be writing new material, followed by some long overdue touring. Stay tuned.

Show date change

Our October show with The Chinese Stars and Lipstick Terror is being moved from Saturday the 18th to Sunday the 19th. We are still working out all of the details- but most likely since it's a Sunday show, it will start and end a little early. When we get everything straightened out, we'll let you know!
