Some Details...
China Rats take off for their first official UK tour this week; in support of their new single '(At Least Those) Kids Are Getting Fed,' which was released on the 8th October through Once Upon a Time Records. Their style sounds fast and frenetic, with all the right pop parts in exactly the right places. Check out video their video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52bv0BorhFM
China Rats (having formed only a little over a year ago) are not just the usual bunch of 'young and reckless' mates, in a makeshift garage band, meant only for their mums and friends to watch, listen, and love. China Rats accidental headlining gig, at Benicassim, on the Trident Stage, (which occurred after Bat For Lashes had to pull out) and their brilliant performance, which happened after they impressed one of the bookers on the tiny Villacamp Stage the night before, are only a few of China Rats' accomplishments. These guys literally went from playing in front of hundreds to tens of thousands overnight! Not to mention their performance at Live at Leeds, Amsterdam's 'London Calling.' You can't say that doesn't scream: 'Bloody talented!'
China Rats released their debut EP 'To Be Like I' in April this year, which immediately caught the eye of Huw Stephens(who knew he couldn't sleep on them), landing them a spot on the BBC Radio 1 Introducing Playlist with a cameo called 'N.O.M.O.N.E.Y'. Currently, the band is giving away a live favourite 'Fly Solo'. Give it a listen:
