Unabashed and unapologetic, Red Carpet Rats offers enthusiasts seamless, driven, power pop rock – a musical opportunity to live in the moment and bask in an energy-rich wave of sound. The Rats’ edgy and gripping tunes deliver a succinct, four-part harmony with evidence of individual creativity. Lead singer Uni Pereira’s alternately raspy and coy voice, guitarist McCabe’s quick finger work, drummer Tige Bucchino’s steady bombardment of beats, and bass player Doc Singles’ seething bass lines align to create a hard rock counterpoint to their hooky pop melodies.
This trueAnthem compilation, taken from RCR’s Chauffeur Records release, “The Year Of The Rat,” comes on the heels of their E.P. “Rug Burns.” All five of “Rug Burns’” songs received regular airplay on over 80 mainstream, college and internet radio stations, gathering a string of superlative-laden reviews. “The best new voice within the music industry,” says Chad Eddinger, General Manager of 91.1 FM WBUQ Pennsylvania.
Never missing an opportunity to give back, Red Carpet Rats will be joining the Armed Forces Entertainment Group in touring overseas military bases. It’s safe to say that wherever Red Carpet Rats lands this year, it’s sure they’ll offer at least a brief escape and some energy-infused R&R to one and all.
