Rat City

The rugged bass lines and striking guitar blend superbly to a hypnotic drum beat in this four minute and twenty eight second epic track. The intensity is never far away and holding an immense scorch of instrumental provocation, that simply transforms itself into a rich lingering rhythmic swathe of beauty that is very moreish!

The amazing Rat King - Tyler, Daniel and Ricardo

The Notion/the Motion

Startling and attention grabbing the strange noises whistle and hum in an imaginative plundering of the mind.  The rampaging beats cascade to form the backbone of this mighty enterprising track, while the run of bass harbours a dramatic edgy vibe.

This track has a Native American feel to it which is instantly pleasing to the ears. The bass is hypnotic and blends into the mouth-watering guitar that is spiked with rhythmic causticity and guided by a forceful drum beat that never disappoints. It surges in a powerful and assertive way that compels and enthrals.

Summary:

I can definitely say hand on heart that Rat King do not need words to express their overwhelming creativity. The music does without a shadow of a doubt speak volumes.

The edgy bass lines mesmerise and the breakdowns are masterful and not easy to accomplish but Rat King have everything sewn up and in the bag so to speak.

It is an E.P that you can put in the player at any time to get that injection of inescapable hooks, and crazed but slow melody. Feel yourself sink into the plush structures that are definitely weighed down with pure unadulterated heaviness.

It houses its own unique venom and once listening you will find yourself caught up in the strenuous rhythmic beats and settle cosily into their tempting irrepressible encounters.

Three superb tracks throw the band into the spotlight and amazing to witness live. I will be forever a Rat King fanatic!!

Looking forward to hearing more from this trio in the future – The Pied Pipers of Seattle are ready to control the hordes like no magic pipe could ever do!
