The Bats are an influential New Zealand rock band formed in 1982 in Christchurch. The band consists of Paul Kean on bass, Malcolm Grant on drums, Robert Scott on lead vocals, rhythm guitar, and keyboards, and Kaye Woodward on lead guitar and vocals. Although primarily based in Christchurch, The Bats are often associated with the Dunedin sound musicians that emerged in the early 1980s. With their original lineup intact for over three decades, they have become a staple of the New Zealand music scene.

Known for their distinctive sound and melodic songwriting, The Bats have been compared to other influential bands such as *The Verlaines*, *The Clean*, and *David Kilgour*. Their music captures the essence of the Dunedin sound while also incorporating elements of indie pop and jangle pop. Over the years, they have released numerous albums and gained a dedicated fanbase both within New Zealand and internationally.

With their enduring presence in the music industry, The Bats continue to captivate audiences with their timeless melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to their music, exploring The Bats' discography is sure to be a rewarding experience.
