RAT BOY announce their third studio album, SUBURBIA CALLING
RAT BOY have announced their forthcoming third album, SUBURBIA CALLING, alongside the release of a new single, "BADMAN".
Frontman Jordan Cardy says, “I wanted to sing about Essex. Essex is where we live and when you’ve grown up somewhere you notice things about it. There’s so much to draw on. Essex is really close to London but it’s different in a lot of ways. We’ve got a lot of freedom here, we built a place where we can record and rehearse and hang out, somewhere you wouldn’t be able to have in London.”
RAT BOY - completed by Liam Haygarth (bass), Harry Todd (guitar) and Noah Booth (drums) - approached the making of the album in unorthodox fashion. They recorded a home demo and a live performance of each song, which were then sent to producer Stephen Street (The Smiths, Blur) to edit together like a tapestry puzzle.

- MOB
- RUDY’S WORLD
