Dirty Rats
Rock N Roll
The Dirty Rats new album, Rock N Roll, delivers 8 new original hard rock songs, along with a heavy interpretation cover of a Vanda & Young classic, Yesterdays Hero, that is set to become a perennial Aussie anthem in the world of sticky carpets and beer stained bars. Heres the band describing how the album came together; "We started seriously writing and arranging for the current album, Rock N Roll, around mid 2016 and recorded later that same year into 2017 at Singing Bird Studio in Frankston Victoria, where it was also mixed and mastered. We love using Singing Bird as the engineers really let us have our heads and get what we are all about. Jamie and Andy came up with the idea that the album should just be recorded "live", just go in and play as if we were doing a gig, and I reckon that was the best way to go, as it gave the album that rough and ready feel that we were after. We have always been a tight band musically with a good feel for how we each perform, so most tracks were recorded in just one or two takes. We had to do some overdubs with the guitar parts, due to some changes in guitarists, but otherwise we just got stuck in and got it done. All the songs on this album are drawn from our personal experiences, whether its dark and violent, knocking back cans and watching bands with our mates, romance gone wrong or wrestling with the Black Dog, its no bullshit, straight forward rock in a hard rocking Oz style. Rocking out in Rat Town, bloody oath!!!"
