Release: No Competition
Year: 2013
Shonen Bat are an emo/indie band from Malaga, Spain, but if you didn't know that you might swear they were from the American Midwest, Seattle, San Diego or Brooklyn in the 90s. This record sounds a hell of a lot like Mineral and Pinback rolled into one. Slocore-ish sensibilities, melodies that even sound a little like something from Jawbreaker's first two, all blended through the mostly clean, pluckiness--so not too far from the criminally underrated Boilermaker. I am really impressed with this record.
