Battles is one of those bands that when you are listening to them, you know it.
Every track on their 2007 debut full-length Mirrored is distinguishable, with “Atlas” as a particularly solid stand-out. The UK has specifically over-exposed the band’s music by placing it in Audi and Honda commercials, the TV show Skins, and the song “The Line” is even featured on the soundtrack for Twilight.
But if you are like me and prefer to hear your music not within the confines of an economical foreign car or in close proximity to teenage vampires, but instead in a concert venue, you are in luck! We are now giving away a pair of tickets to Battles’ performance at the 9:30 Club this Sunday(10/30), plus the newest LP Gloss Drop on vinyl!
For a chance to win, give us the name of a song you have heard in product placement.
I died a little inside when I heard “Skinny Love” by Bon Iver playing as background music to the movie preview of Eat, Pray, Love.
The winner will be chosen at noon on Thursday (10/27). Good luck!
