Thee Dirty Rats: Brazil's two-man tune factory prepare new LP release "Humans Out"

THEE DIRTY RATS duo from Sao Paulo, Brasil, has been disrupting (what's left) of the "garage-punk" scene for a solid grip of years now. "A perfect tragedy" has been leveled at these two human tinkers, who make their own guitars and drums off the sweaty back of junkyard dust from the local scrapyard. The tunes on this new 12" are raw, trashy, and gloriously weird; sounding like Devo and The Gories mixed up in their own favorite milkshake maker. Very cool, very refreshing. You might just froth at the mouth after taking a gulp of this concoction.

Luis Tissot (Fab. Gogoboy from Alabama, Jazz Beat Committee, Human Trash, The Great Munzini) kicks out a gritty fuzz on some "wild cigar-box-guitar" along with his partner in crime, Fernando Hitman ( From one-man-band Hitman) beating a tight beat on a beautifully broken trash-canned drumkit with badly broken Moog synths and keyboards!

These two "human cannonballs" have just finished up the final lo-fi lashings and thrashings of their 16-song, brand new, poignantly titled album "Humans Out" which is slated for release on 14 August on the mighty Brazil label Mandinga Records.

In the meantime, you can enjoy their new video single "Bacterial Bop" pre-order the record here!

WATCH: Doom-pop discovery Control Future figure out "The Right One" on new video single

“The Right One" starts off as a melancholy synth-guitar driven melody that quickly turns into an angsty, punk-poet plea for “Looking for the Right One.” A song that feels like a plea, search, and retreat from finding it. But the search and struggle carry on.
