Hi all -- Year of the Rat is a relatively new band on the scene; we played our debut show at Logan's not too long ago and got some very positive response, and we'll be participating in the Cambie's BOTB this Saturday.

We play medium-high intensity rock music with synthy / progressive elements, and our primary common influences are bands like Muse, Metric, Depeche Mode and Joy Division. We have a fair amount of variety in our sound and could fit with a number of different rock genres both heavy or not-so-heavy.

At this point we'd be open to opening or headlining (we have about an hour worth of material on the go at present) and just want to get ourselves out there.

Drop us a line at [email protected] and/or check out our (extremely rudimentary) recordings at http://myspace.com/yearoftherat2009

Thanks! - Wed, 23 Sep 2009 3:36pm

Here's a link to our new preliminary demo track -- not finished mixing and there are a couple of things that probably will be re-recorded, but sounding not too bad I'd say!

Updated the link with new mix of Independence - sounds a lot better. So now that's done, let's play a show! - Thu, 1 Oct 2009 3:36pm
