Like, what's our story? Well, us beat rats sprung to life in nyc a way's back so’s we could cop a choice gig at CBGB’s before it shut up. That gig we came on like gangbusters and blew the lid off the joint. Then, the light bulb goes on and us beat rats figured we’ll start making the scene. ..Armed with a boatload of raucous, rockity riffs, we invaded some of the most drunken establishments in the US. Next thing ya know we made like a rock and rolled into the studio where we barreled through a sonic barrage of beat rat dittys... ..Today, we spend our dims and brights peddling our crazy first album around. Go shake a leg and cop our CD! Then, maybe we’ll be able to scratch up enough loot & make a buncha noize in your neck of the woods! This is one scene you gotta make. You’ll blow your wig and fall right out! Keep yer peepers on hi-alert till we collar our next gig!

From New York city and fairly new to the scene, this group has a fair whiff of old Mersey and R&B-informed beat. The confident, rasping vocals and blues-twang guitars form part of a fully-charged battery that includes familiar riffs and chords, propelled by thumping bass and drums; the latter produced by the absurdly-monickered Bluto Mongo.
There are many standouts but ‘Mine All mine’, the Fabs-u-lous pairing ‘No Good At Love’ and ‘Only 16’ and the captivating… Continue

The Beat Rats “A Cellar Full Of Rats!” (Kool Kat Musik 2027)
Meet The Beat Rats, a four piece band from New York City, who recreate the sound, style and attitude of an early sixties British combo with utter perfection. The best rock and roll has always been built upon a skeletal foundation of a few basic chords, trashy drumming and impassioned vocals, and “A Cellar Full Of Rats!” trembles and… Continue

The Beat Rats—A Cellar Full of Rats
New York: birthplace of the Velvet Underground, The Ramones, Sonic Youth, The Strokes, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and home to all things cool and trendy since the late 60’s. The Beat Rats are the latest sons of the big apple to pick the torch for rock’n’roll and run with it. These boys aren’t, however, running down the more obvious paths the city is known for (I.E. Punk, Hardcore and Noise Rock). They are reaching back to the halcyon days of The Beatles,… Continue
