Pleaaaaaaaase let this be the one that finally gets them the critical success they deserve. I’d kill to see them get the Wednesday treatment.
Maybe it’s the twinge of americana but it feels like Ratboys and the The War On Drugs would have a lot of crossover fans. It would be sweet to see Ratboys open for them or something.
This is mainly for @mattfreaksmeout and any other Chicago folks who have posted/viewed this thread: They just announced a Thalia Hall show on December 22.
title track is a top 3 Ratboys song - I believe they've been playing it live tho it gets me every time. the entire album is just insane - their masterpiece
Feels like it’s their time to blow up. Between getting majorly fucked over by COVID and being in the scene as long as they have, they deserve a (as mentioned above) Wednesday-esque blow up.
hey I wasn't aware Wednesday blew up at all, but Ratboys do deserve it for sure, they're top notch musically and they're sweet and funny as well
Incredible song. Sounds like Ratboys doing their Speak Now. “The Window (From the Vault) (Ratboys Version)” they’re the sweet version of Wednesday.
The fact that we got new Wednesday this year and are getting new Ratboys in the same year…we are not worthy.
