Last year saw RATS enjoy a series of unforgettable highlights as they became a hot tip as indie’s next breakthrough band. After opening for the iconic Liam Gallagher at the Isle of Wight, the band went on to support modern heroes DMA’S at some huge shows, including arena-sized gigs in Liverpool and London. Their track ‘Patsy Decline’ was released as the first single from our brand new record label in partnership with Warner Music’s ADA.
‘Jenny’ is a song that has everything it takes to inspire a huge audience. Putting a fresh twist on the psychedelic-tinged indie-pop thrills of prime Blur, the anthemic rush of its towering hook will surely be sung back at them at festivals across the land. Joe’s rapidfire delivery echoes Eminem’s rhythmic flow and force of personality as he paints an evocative picture of the darker underbelly of Liverpool.
Joe says, “‘Jenny’ is a story about a student who is forced to go to uni by her parents, but she has bigger dreams that soon turn sour.”
‘Jenny’ was produced by Chris Taylor (The Lathums, Blossoms) at Parr Street Studios in Liverpool, before it was mastered at Abbey Road Studios.
