The 1981 Listening Post - The Rats - Intermittent Signals

 The Rats - Intermittent Signals

1981 Housekeeping

The Rats

Intermittent Signals

Genre: Garage

2.75 out of 5





Three chords. The Ramones did it. Hell, everyone understands that, right? 

On their second record The Rats sound like a second rate garage band, with a handful of chords and a fist full of mediocre licks, little money for recording, a sense of what they think punk lyrics should sound like and that’s about it. 

They do have a lot of energy and I’ll give them that. But it’s not good. Slightly better than they first. And that’s really just because I’m in a good mood. 

The Rats complain about a lot but it feels like they are carpetbagging. I don’t buy it.
