WATCH: Thee Dirty Rats pick their battles in new video single 'Let's Fight'
Thee Dirty Rats have a new video for “Let's Fight” off their 16-track debut Humans Out released last month via Mandinga Records. The Brazilian-based duo comprised of guitarist Luis Tissot (Fab. Gogoboy from Alabama, Jazz Beat Committee, Human Trash, The Great Munzini) and drummer Fernando Hitman (one-man-band Hitman) plays a catchy brand of dance-inducing trash punk on their new effort. “Let’s Fight” is about, well, wanting to fight.

“Ghost Town” induces paroxysms of pleasure with hypnotic low-end and a zombie groove. Playing trash salvaged instruments might hold back lesser mortals, but the Sao Paulo duo prove one man’s garbage is another’s gold. The animated video for the cut finds Thee Dirty Rats as a pair of ghosts in possession of a magic, cigar box guitar with a famous Ghost Buster hot on their heels.”
“Post-garage duo Thee Dirty Rats, hailing from Sao Paulo, Brazil, channel the gritty nature of one of the world’s largest cities on this LP chock full of lo-fi post-apocalyptic rock and roll. The rhythms are raw and primal, the guitars noisy as all fuck. Lo-fi is putting it mildly. And minimalism seems to be second nature to these two.”
Paul Silver - Jersey Beat- Anti-Pitchfork (Aug 16, 2020)
“Thee Dirty Rats, from Sao Paulo, Brazil, have been disrupting 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.”
- Nathan Whittle, Louder Than War (Jul 27, 2020)
“The Spill Magazine is pleased to stream the new album in its entirety today along with a first time viewing of their latest video “Ghost Town” – which depicts an eerie, cartoonish vibe that combines a Flintstones/Jetsons western-style background, complete with empty discotheque crystal balls and scary phantoms aplenty. Keeping with the album’s overall themes, the video boasts no real human life forms whatsoever, apart from a cameo by Bill Murray busting up the ghosts all over town.”
