PUNK/HIP-HOP ARTIST MUDRAT RELEASES DELIVERS NEW TRACK ‘YEAR OF THE RAT’

Today, Naarm punk / hip hop artist MUDRAT releases his new single YEAR OF THE RAT.

YEAR OF THE RAT marks a full circle for MUDRAT, coinciding with the first anniversary of the project’s December 2023 launch—completing the literal Year of the Rat. 

On YEAR OF THE RAT, MUDRAT pushes boundaries once again, seamlessly weaving Cypress Hill-inspired boom-bap beats with a nu-metal-infused, head-banging chorus that demands attention. Delivered with a snarling, raw Australian accent, MUDRAT’s vocals cut through the noise, creating a sonic identity that’s unmistakably his own.

Though a solo act in spirit, MUDRAT performs live with a seasoned five-piece band, including Emile Battour (formerly of Ocean Grove) on drums and Carlo Darbisi (formerly of Earth Caller) on guitar, adding an explosive energy to his live shows.
 
Having opened for BARKAA, sold out his first headline show at Shotkickers (200 capacity), and made waves at BIGSOUND, MUDRAT is quickly becoming a must-see live performer.

2025 is shaping up to be the year of the RAT.
