Formed and based in Southampton, Rat:Daddy are building a growing reputation for their memorable rock songs and dazzling performances.

“The ease with which this band delivers is frightening; they punch with a kiss. Don’t miss them, you'll be missing something from the very fabric of your being!"

In 2003, the band’s debut ep ‘We Should Be Going Crazy quickly sold out of it’s first 1000 pressings. It was also picked up by an independent label in Newcastle called Changes One. This enabled Rat:Daddy to carry out several tours nationwide with a fantastic response. Later the band would also tour Europe and are c urrently organising a trip back to follow up on it’s success.

As a support act, Rat:Daddy have hugely impressed several of the larger acts they have played with including The Wildhearts, Dogs D’Amour, Rachel Stamp, The Quireboys, AntiProduct, Tuuli & Hardcore Superstar. Ginger from the Wildhearts was so impressed when they opened for his band at Bristol Academy, that he personally asked the guys to support him on one of his solo acoustic tours.

In late 2005 Rat:Daddy made some exciting line up changes and entered the studio with producer Roger Tebbutt (Ginger, Rachel Stamp, Gay Dad). The results have been described as the strongest Rat:Daddy material to date, "combining the colossal melodies of old, with a stunning broad new approach to the sound and writing"
