Citizen Rat isn’t just a band; they’re a powerful, real and unapologetic force emerging from the Sunshine Coast scene. Their sound and style resonate with lovers of guitar-fuelled energy and transcendent storytelling alike, with some even saying this could be the start of a new trending sound in Australian Music…
Embodying grungy modern rock in its most exciting form, while maintaining their unique essence, Citizen Rat transformed both in sound and style. Their music, a powerful fusion of blistering riffs, emotive lyrics, and high energy, draws from the band’s eclectic influences like classic grunge, contemporary alternative rock, and even country. This sonic evolution is matched by a vibrant look inspired by the bold palette of 90s pop.
Coming off their own headline regional tour and QLD’s metal festival Rotten Fest, we are on the brink of unveiling a new era of rat. Collaborating with some of Australia’s greatest music minds in Tom Eggert (Sony) Jai Sparks (Hello Gardener) and Jordan Bain (Airlock Studios), fans can anticipate some dazzling new singles, heralding a full album dropping later in 2025.
In the meantime, check out their new single Shut My Mouth below.
