From Wikipedia:
How Pop Can You Get? was the only album by The Bats.
Members were Jon Brion, Bill Murphy and Don "Riff" Fertman.
It was recorded in New Haven and West Haven, Connecticut and released on the Gustav label (Gustav UA1001) in the fall of 1982.
Called "The Pop(ulist) album of the Year" by Op Magazine: The Lost Music network, the record received much critical acclaim and was even a Billboard "Recommended LP" when reviewed in the October 2, 1982 issue. The album, however, ultimately failed to chart.
"From the cover, this looks like wacky new wave pop a la B-52’s. What’s on the vinyl though is well-crafted, if youthful power pop. This group is only a trio, and from their looks quite young but manages to project a full, powerful sound. Though on a small label the sound is crisp and professional.
To those who wake up every morning to well worn copies of the Rasperries’ “Go All the Way,” this ones for you."– Billboard Magazine 10/02/82
