Battles’ evolution spans more than two decades, marked by landmark records and dynamic live shows. Their breakthrough hit Atlas (from the 2007 record Mirrored) earned critical acclaim, including an NME Single of the Week designation, helping to propel them onto international stages. The band’s studio albums move from the kinetic energy of Mirrored to the expansive textures of Gloss Drop, La Di Da Di, and the 2019 release Juice B Crypts. In recent years, Battles has toured as openers for Primus and Mr. Bungle, and they’re slated for 2025 appearances such as a Barbican Hall date in London on June 14, 2025 as part of a UK/Europe run.
