Totally (EP) by The Bats Pajamas From Toronto hails The Bats Pajamas, a punk-indebted garage rock band that recently dropped an EP titled Totally . The EP follows the group's full-length debut that was released in 2010, which, according to their Bandcamp , was recorded by Steve Albini. Throughout the release's five tracks, The Bats Pajamas specialize in a dirty brand of short, catchy rock songs that might make Wire fans happy. However, the band isn't afraid to take detours from this sound; a track like the doom-influenced opener, appropriately dubbed "Breaking [...]

MUSIC REVIEW: The Bats Pajamas from Toronto Canada are a dirt rock party mixing some booze and punk all in one no frills sleepover on their EP Totally . If you like the noisy parts of the Unsane the first track "Breaking Sabbath will resonate with you. The rest is more AM/REP in the vain of the Cows and general sick fun dripped in enough reverb that you will gladly download this Free EP! They do a great job in their single video for the track "Sarai". This is not your regular Bollywood black and white [...]
Energetic Toronto rockers The Bats Pajamas released their new EP today. You can have a listen to Totally right here: <a href=" http://thebatspajamas.bandcamp .com/album/totally-ep"> Totally (EP) by The Bats Pajamas</a>

Last summer we featured the slightly unhinged proto-garage of Toronto's The Bats Pajamas and a track from their Steve Albini produced self-titled debut album. They have just finished recording the follow-up, which they are hoping to get released shortly. We have a couple of tasters in the shapes of videos and downloads for Red Scared and Sarai . Pleased to report the levels of unhingedness are unchanged. Watch. Download. Listen. Jump around. Enjoy. a [...]
My parents introduced me to The Clash and the Dead Kennedys, but I would nevertheless say that I think they probably hate punk. They listened to The Pogues play London Calling with Joe Strummer and weren't happy with the amount of guitar-bothering going on. The first stuff I used to play in the house which I didn't get directly from their music collection might have been Pearl Jam, and they really weren't into that either. I say this not as a sly means of criticising my parents' taste in music, because given how many of my [...]

The Last Names - "One Black Feather" 43-year-old teenager. After a shower, May lay steaming on the bed. The bed with the long-empty passenger seat, covers heaped in a twisted pile. She tapped through pictures of friends' families, their time magnets, their love wells. She read insincerity on the smiles of some, honesty on the goofy mugs of others. A goofy face was an honest face, if a tragic kind of twisted honesty. Like when you catch your face in two mirrors and it looks all lopsided. She waited for Edmund and [...]
Toronto-based garage rock quartet The Bats Pajamas are putting the finishing touches on their sophomore full length album. The record, Totally , was recorded above the Lulu Lemon on Queens St and will be released later this year. They've already got a pair of videos for tracks off the record. Watch "Sarai": ...and "Red Scared":

"Rad Scared" is previewed from Bats Pajamas forthcoming sophomore full-length expected later this year. Their Steve Albini produced self-titled debut caused a stir and the Toronto based collective is still bringing the noise. The Bats Pajamas - Red Scared The Bats Pajamas ( Bandcamp ) Rating 8.3

Toronto's The Bat Pajamas are on my NXNE "to see" list. Their eponymous debut full-length album was produced by Steve Albini at the nearing-legendary Electrical Audio studio in Chicago with Steve Albini, and at first blush sounds like a nice forced mating of Pere Ubu and Art Brut. I was seriously tempted to share the irresistibly cheeky Go Bowie Go , but I figured some might bristle at the unceremonious nicking of Queen Bitch , so you get Downtown Nitty Gritty instead. The band will soon head [...]
