Batch (album)


Batch is the second album by Orange County pop punk band Big Drill Car. It was released in 1991.
It was the last studio recording with the original line-up, and their last album distributed by Cruz Records. Like many Big Drill Car albums, Batch is currently out of print.

Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote that "Batch upholds the group’s stylistic consistency: riffs, tunes and punchy rhythms collide in an enjoyable blend of big rock, vampy thrashfunk and nicely detailed pop that hardly belongs on a punk-rooted indie label." The Los Angeles Times wrote that "there is no denying the clean, unrelenting crunch that guitarist Mark Arnold, bassist Bob Thomson and drummer Danny Marcroft achieve as they find hard-rocking middle ground between Led Zeppelin and Husker Du."
