The Exbats are led by Inez McClain (singer and drummer) with her father Kenny on guitar. Reviews note four albums and a prolific run of demos, singles, and EPs; Goner Records released Now Where Were We (2021) and Song Machine (2023). Their sound mixes garage attitude with pop, doo-wop and occasional country or folk touches.

Inez McClain is the primary singer and drummer; Kenny plays guitar. Eric Oblivian (of The Oblivians) noticed them and brought them to Goner Records. Reviews describe a playful, delirious attitude and a transition toward pop songwriting while retaining garage roots.

Inez McClain (vocals, drums) and her father Kenny (guitar) deliver demented garage-pop punk with a care-free, delirious attitude. Reviews highlight two recent albums, Now Where Were We (2021) and Song Machine (2023), noting stronger pop songwriting while garage spirit remains. Standout moments include singalong anthems, Beatlesque strings, and doo-wop swings.

For:Fans of garage rock, lo-fi punk, retro pop harmonies, and DIY family-fronted bands.

 The Exbats is Inez McClain – singer and drummer – who for about ten years has been bringing her dad Kenny along to play guitar on improbable yet demented garage (pop) punk anthems, defying the generational conflict.

 the new Exbats album came out, it’s called "Song Machine" and it’s exactly like "Now Where Were We" from two years ago but better, because in two years what doesn’t work gets fixed perfectly and everything runs smoothly, that’s how it works in Inez and Kenny’s albums, that’s how it works for many other things.
