Rats on Rafts swear spiritual allegiance to the Rotterdam’s New Wave, Pop and Punk scenes with one proviso: the weirder the better. Their new material could be described as bleached, stretched and strange; those who are only acquainted with their fiercely committed pop side better watch out.
“I first saw Rats on Rafts in their hometown of Rotterdam. I was blown away by their energy and obvious joy at playing together. They reminded me of the feeling that makes you want to create a band in the first place.” – Will Sergeant, Echo and the Bunnymen
"It's tough, psychedelic pop driven by a hard bass sound and some great melodies. If only John Peel was still alive today they would be doing a session for him next week." - John Robb, Louder Than War
"They are one of those bands whose recordings to date bear no relation to how earth shatteringly brilliant they are live." - Richard Foster, Incendiary Mag
"I love Rats on Rafts. Go and see them play live. Even if you have to travel to Rotterdam." - Alex Kapranos, Franz Ferdinand
