Biography

In the 1980s, Chicano pop/punk ensemble THE BRAT ruled the East L.A. music world, an underground scene which featured other nascent Eastside punkers such as Los Illegals, Thee Undertakers, Los Lobos and The Stains, and which was championed on LA’s Westside by the likes of X and The Plugz. 
 During that time THE BRAT released only one EP, the extremely rare (and coveted) “Attitudes”, before their 1986 dissolution, leaving just morsels for younger generations to discover. They were political. They were influential. And then they were gone. THAT’s punk rock: loud, fast, out. 
 Their story has largely remained untold, but “Straight Outta East L.A.” (RockBeat/MVD) has it all - the “Attitudes” EP, plus choice unreleased recordings - in one loud, explosive package. And there's more to come. Discover what makes THE BRAT so powerful!
