Northern Virginia’s gothic indie oldies outfit Sable Drive has released their electrifying take on the Wesley Willis favorite I Wupped Batman’s Ass. With this track, the band aims to put smiles on faces while delivering an ear-catching jolt of their unmistakable sound — a genre-bending fusion of the B-52s’ playful punch, the dark swagger of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, the fuzz-driven grit of Ty Segall, and the dramatic flair of King Diamond.
“We wanted to keep the joy and absurdity of Wesley Willis’s original while giving it our own sonic twist,” says bandleader Stan Ascher. “It’s about surprising listeners — and making sure they’re grinning while their ears are buzzing.”
Sable Drive is inviting music fans, playlist curators, and adventurous listeners to dive into the track and experience the band’s growing catalog of theatrical, high-energy rock. I Wupped Batman’s Ass is streaming now on Spotify and all major platforms.
