Eric Reidar wrote some songs and got some friends together to help him play them, luckily those friends are two very talented musical veterans: Nate Marshall (also of The Bizmarck) BJ Roberston (also of The Nightgowns) together they formed Battersea, the trio mix elements of post-punk, art rock, indie, pop, rock n'roll, nu-wave etc to make a sound very much their own. Fans of the Smiths, Joy Division, Magazine, Orange Juice, Chapel Club, Interpol, Editors, The Wedding Present, Pony Club, Prefab Sprout, The Band Of Holy Joy, The Woodentops and Wire will find plenty to like about Battersea.Bringing the noise to Seattle, Tacoma and London.
