MUSICLISTINGS
PREPARE
FOR BATTLE(ME)
One thing is for certain when you listen to the music of Portland’s Battleme — you
C O N T I N U E D
are going to rock ‘n’ roll yourself silly in the grooviest way imaginable. They don’t get to
the point of making you bang your head, but they do fill their tracks with electric riffs,
catchy drums that often growl more than they roar and the sort of memorable choruses
that will burrow into your mind and live there for weeks. And the stories and vocals of
Battleme’s mastermind, Matt Drenik, will have you thinking you’re on one hell of a trip in
more ways than one, so there’s always that to look forward to if that’s your thing.
The hypnotic riffs and off-kilter time sensibilities of the fuzzy rocker “Shoot the
Noise, Man” demonstrate Drenik’s ability to get you moving and singing along.
“Closer” has the distorted guitars and heavy drums to make it sound like a parody of
an REO Speedwagon tune by way of Queen, and it rocks something fierce. The
psychedelic flourishes on the boiling rocker “Touch” — to say nothing of the bizarre,
morphine-induced dreamscape that is this track’s accompanying video — will get you
wondering what Drenik was on when he came up with this idea. And even when
Drenik slows things down as he does on the down-tempo shuffler “Doin’ Time in my
Head Ain’t Cheap,” or the epic ambient ballad “Lights (ft. The Forest Rangers),” the
echoing atmospherics and his even-keel vocals make you feel like you’re taking part
in a languid dream.
Whether the song is an energetic one or more easygoing, Drenik succeeds at
making you experience something with each song he creates. Sometimes it’s
euphoria, other times it might be a healthy dose of paranoia, but you can be sure
you’ll be grooving the whole way through.
Battleme plays 9 pm Thursday, Dec. 13, at Sam Bond’s, $5. — Brian Palmer
