Battersea is a band of four twenty-somethings in Indianapolis that enjoy playing weird but heavy music. Battersea formed in September 2013 with the impetus of the band's original bassist and vocalist, Randi Guthrie. After spending a few months jamming and writing, the band starting playing live around Indianapolis and recorded a demo under the engineering direction of guitarist Eddie Boswell. Randi Guthrie left the band in September 2014. Sarah LaBarge filled in the bass and vocals position in early 2015.
