Battleme is the stage name and creative outlet of Matt Drenik, an American singer-songwriter and musician known for his blend of folk, rock, and lo-fi music. Emerging in the late 2000s, Drenik first gained attention with the gritty, stripped-down sound of Battleme's self-titled debut album, establishing a distinctive artistic voice within the indie music scene. The versatility in his music is reflected in the various releases that followed, from the raw, energetic rock of "Future Runs Magnetic" to the introspective acoustic sessions of "Green Fields Session 1".

Drenik's Battleme project has consistently evolved, with compositions ranging from the intimate and personal, as heard in "Habitual Love Songs", to the raucous, anthem-like quality of tracks like "Shake Shake". His spectrum of musical expression is tied together by thoughtful lyricism and an ability to capture the human experience in song. Notably, Battleme gained a surge in popularity with the placement of the song "Hey Hey, My My" in the television series "Sons of Anarchy", marking one of the many instances where Drenik's music intersected with popular culture. The live album "Live At Cactus Cafe" serves as a testament to Battleme's captivating performance abilities, solidifying Matt Drenik's reputation as a commanding presence on stage and a talented songwriter.
