Formed in NYC in 2002, Battles today is ex-Don Caballero and Storm & Stress member Ian Williams and ex-Helmet and Tomahawk drummer John Stanier. Often labeled as a Math Rock band, Battles are the embodiment of musical experimentation, with a sound that’s constantly evolving. For Episode 12, we’re front and center at the famous Powerstation Studio in NYC. A place where a few rockers you may have heard of have laid down tracks, like Bruce Springsteen, Rolling Stones and Madonna.
Welcome to Cardboard Sessions. A jam format music series that brings musicians together to play instruments built and designed by the creators of Cardboard Chaos. A creative exploration for the love of music and the chance to hear something original. No rehearsals, no plan. The moment when a creative spark hits and you dig deep to explore the realm.
Artist:
Ian Williams – Guitar
John Stanier – Drums
Studio – Powerstation

My fav uncles!!
Love watching my dad play drums
Loved seeing them just jam a bit!
Oh hell yeah
What song Is this? Or Its an impro?
This sounds like some old school Don Cab shit
This is funnnnnn!
So this is how Battles sounds at 2023. Amazing stuff.
Im dying to hear a whole new album, this was familiar but soooo fresh and inspired all at the same time… love it!
Ньюкасл чемпик!
if their next album sounds like this it's probably going to be one of their best yet!
It's so wild how it goes from being almost a mess for a couple of bars and the John reinterpretes the pattern and suddenly it all works 😅
If you pull more DC sounds for the next album I'll love you forever. I mean I will anyways but those cross sticks sound like cardboard ☺️
two legends!!
Welcome to the strat squad Ian!
yasss!! awesome !!!
One by one everyone keeps leaving this band. Pretty soon it's just gonna be a million pedals and a drum machine run by AI playing on loop.
they dont seem very happy?
Incredible to see this. Was following Third Thursday for snowboards, then obviously transitioning to some of the bands you (and I love) so I went back through and Mars V! and everyone else, how incredible! Just went back through this whole series and love the swamp sessions as I went once and think it might be where music was born (along with frogs). Pinnacle snowboard being glass from Italy, Pinnacle guitar being anyone that enjoys it!
enjoy this a lot. when he really gets going it definitely reminds me of 80's King Crimson, both in the actual tone of it and all the overlapping progressions that make your head spin
so badass
Would love to play my 5 string bass under these riffs.
that part from 2:00 on is insanely beautiful, very midwest.😍
I like Battles in this version, no synth/keyboard and pre-recorded vocals. More interesting and focus with their instrument
