Here is also a summary for your information:
Screech Bats began life as a side project, with a grungy, riot girl ethos at heart. The members gelled so well that as Kit and Lexi’s other band went on hiatus, they decided to stick together. As an act devoid of any male members, there have been many instances of their gender standing front and centre stage: “It’s awful. But it's a reality for every non-male band out there. In our opinion, the whole industry needs to stop seeing gender as a genre. We are not a ‘girl band’ just because none of us have penises. We want to live in a world where we don’t get booked as a novelty - we want to get booked solely on merit.” Recording ‘Wish You Were Her’ with James Routh of Sonic Boom Six, often until the early hours in a Blackpool rehearsal room, the band opted to strip back to a rawer form of their sound. The result is a heart-on-sleeve alternative rock with punk rock roots, topped off with distinctly British vocals à la Lower Than Atlantis; the influence of the likes of Against Me! and Jimmy Eat World is clear.
