Ratboys

Scrappy, story-driven indie rock where Midwestern twang meets basement-show grit. A record of pedal steel sighs and vivid, bittersweet memories.

It's like if a 90s indie band grew up on a farm and couldn't stop thinking about the past.

A restless, midwestern yearning that feels both intimate and expansive.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the pedal steel sighs against the jagged guitar riff in Tixis.
The sudden shift from a quiet acoustic opening to a full-band surge on Our Mortician's Daughter.
The haunting, repetitive vocal refrain that closes out the title track.
