Rats are a band crying out to disaffected youth everywhere to stand against the the breaking down of modern society and counter cultures in favour of the accepted mainstream. The savvy, often mercilessly funny lyrics make wise observations of bullshit in the news, coupled with a gripping, searing-hot metal / punk crossover sound that incites the ensuing rebellion that must follow in order to reclaim the world as that of one belonging to individuals and not that of corporations, governments, cult religions, mass ideologies or thinking. Their music is a wake-up call about the death of individuality and how the ability to think and weigh up the facts for ourselves has been manipulated. They forever challenge, head-on, the financially-driven industries and institutions that are passionately intent in retaining control in the UK & worldwide. The Rats’ can change the way we view repulsive world events happening now and serves to instill the desire to alter our reaction to it. Lusty’s unmistakable,blunt British Rap vocals jam-pack their songs with a wry and furious humour.You could spot his voice at a thousand paces. Jay compliments with a punk guitar style searing with a bruising, ferocious blast worthy of any carefully considered mob violence you may wish to coordinate.
