RAT BOY is “SICK OF IT” on their latest single off the upcoming ‘CRASH!’ out June 26 on HELLCAT RECORDS. Running through the streets of London and skating in front of Buckingham Palace, drenched in their signature punk defiance. The guys are fed up with the monotonous rat race we find ourselves succumbing to. The mind-numbing day-to-day is wrapped in distorted guitars, earworm melodies, and punchy, crisp drum patterns, as Jordan Cardy questions, “Why am I glued to a phone screen, like it’s a routine? Am I really living, or is this a false dream?”
"I wrote half of ‘SICK OF IT’ at the end of 2024,” shares Cardy. “It’s about doing the same thing every day, caught in a cycle working just to get by, not being able to save up because everything is accounted for, so you feel like you can’t move forward or make plans.”
The Essex gang of four – Jordan Cardy (vocals & guitar), Harry Todd (guitar), Liam Haygarth (bass), and Noah Booth (drums) – collaborated with punk icon Tim Armstrong of Rancid for ‘CRASH!’, harmonizing the band’s indie rock beginnings with their two-step / ska-punk evolution heard on ‘Internationally Unknown’ (2019) and ‘SUBURBIA CALLING’ (2024).
