THE RATS - Liar 7'' 1998

HOLY SHIT! can I only say what the three from Perth deliver here. The Rats with their debut record and they founded in the late nineties by Donny (vocals/guitar), Matt (bass), Frankie (drums) and this two-sided killer 7Inch came out via Empty Records. I bought this slab for little money on a record fair and I'm still excited today by its dirty '77 style blast piss off sound which is driving and maybe a bit monotonous because the songs only offer a few chords, but that's exactly what makes this music addictive, for me at leastFor their short lifespan (dissolved in 2001) they have released quite a bit, two albums and three singles. So if you like simple, no-frills punk, you can't ignore this band and there weren't many of them in the nineties. TOP!
