Whiskey Bats | DCxPC Live & Dead Vol. 7 | L7

Description

DCxPC Live & Dead Vol. 7 Presents The Whiskey Bats is a perfect encapsulation of the band’s energy, capturing both the unrelenting chaos of their live performance and the precision of their studio work. This 7” vinyl release is divided into two sides: Side A, the “Live” side, features recordings from their scorching set at Camp Punksylvania 2024, where they performed on what felt like the hottest day in history, drenched in sweat, beer, and the festival’s signature punk rock grime. Despite the relentless humidity and the overwhelming aroma of weed, B.O., and stale alcohol, The Whiskey Bats played an unforgettable set that turned casual listeners into dedicated fans. Recorded at the Riot Stage and mixed by Joshua Dobbs at Danger Room Recording Services, this side of the record preserves every ounce of the band’s raw energy, transporting listeners back to that wild, unfiltered moment in time. On the flip side, Side B, the “Dead” side, delivers polished studio recordings that showcase the band’s tight musicianship, undeniable hooks, and punk rock storytelling. The Whiskey Bats, consisting of Riggz Miller and Bobby Hornick on guitars and vocals, Mike Phillips on bass, and Uncle Frank on drums, fuse melody with grit, creating a sound that blends classic punk influences with modern urgency. Their ability to seamlessly transition between high-octane live chaos and sharp studio craftsmanship is what makes this release so compelling. This record is more than just another punk 7” – it’s a snapshot of a band that thrives both on stage and in the studio, bringing the best of both worlds to their fans. DCxPC Live, dedicated to preserving the energy of live punk, hardcore, and ska bands, ensures that this release stands as a testament to The Whiskey Bats’ ability to ignite a crowd while also delivering finely tuned recordings. With album art by Robert Hornick, layout formatting by Amy from Beyond the Pit PR, and photography by Matt Bastard, this vinyl not only sounds incredible but looks just as striking. Fans of DIY punk, live music, and bands that give it their all will find DCxPC Live & Dead Vol. 7 Presents The Whiskey Bats an essential addition to their collection, preserving the spirit of punk rock the way it was meant to be experienced—live, loud, and undeniably real.
