Battle of Mice was a sludge / post-rock band founded in 2005 in New York, NY, United States. Formed by members of Neurot Recordings' label mates Red Sparowes and Made Out of Babies, Battle of Mice delivered a crushing heaviness you might expect, but at the same time created stunningly beautiful moments of lush guitars and elegant vocals, powered by slow, methodic drumming.
