RATS ON ACID LAUNCHES A GRITTY, REAL LIFE-INSPIRED PUNK SINGLE “LIKE IT LIKE THAT”!
UK punk quartet Rats On Acid showcases the formation’s raw and emotional stance on the mental state of a victim of a real-life traumatic experience through “Like It Like That” – the band’s latest, enraged and induced with the dynamic of the classic punk atmosphere and attitude single! Outlined by musical components and elements that are required for the creation of an oldschool-influenced punk sound, including fast-paced, dynamic rhythm, despaired and frantically-delivered vocal lines and crude-centered production, “Like It Like That” accurately exposes and presents the overwhelmingly upsetting consequences of a truly personal and chilling tragedy and brings awareness to an incredibly problematic and upsetting topic that – unfortunately – becomes more and more relevant nowadays.
The single “Sex & Money” by PURPENDICULAR is the first release from the upcoming new album, which will hit the shops in early 2021.
The new track continues the musical path which was defined by the previous two longplayers “This Is The Thing No.1” and “Venus To Volcanus”: Classic Rock, inspired by bands like Deep Purpel with a modern touch. Straight to the point, but also playful with a catchy groove as well as the charismatic voice of singer Robby Thomas Walsh. In addition, the new song features Paul Morris (Ex-Rainbow) and Ernesto Ghezzi (Gotthard) as guest musicians.
