BAT’s Ryan Waste states, “‘Streetbanger’ was a title and lyrical concept I’ve had since the BAT demo days, so it’s been marinating for some time. It’s one of the tunes we reworked and played live for a while so it’s already been a staple in the setlist. For the video, we walked the streets of our hometown, Richmond, VA and shot the performance in our actual rehearsal space. I was able to direct the video clip on my own terms with the help of our close friend Jeff Howlett. Jeff is an amazing photographer who shot the band photos for our upcoming album Under the Crooked Claw as well as a documentary filmmaker known for A Band Called Death (2012). ‘Streetbanger’ embodies our raw, no-frills attitude in BAT and what you see is what you get.”

Metal-punk trio BAT have been delivering their own blood-spattered horror since ascending from the underground a decade ago. The brainchild of MUNICIPAL WASTE guitarist Ryan Waste, BAT is the horror-themed cousin of his aforementioned band, with dashes of Motörhead and Venom. BAT pushes the boundaries between heavy metal, punk and rock ‘n’ roll; dynamically all coagulating together into one cohesive dirty sound. Our attraction to horror is visceral and undeniable. So is our love of BAT.
