_________________________

After performing Bikini Kill's The C.D. Version of the First Two Records for an event at a local Long Beach venue, Veronica, Rusty, and Melissa felt inspired to start a band together. In April 2014, they formed Rats in the Louvre.

In a post-everything style, Rats In the Louvre pull on the loose threads of punk, hardcore, Riot Grrrl, art rock, and experimental rock. Dissonant, cynical guitar parts counter raveled, churning bass lines, all textured by a curated spread of reverb, delays, and distortion. Post rock drum patterns and punk vocal phrasings wind the tension created by this three piece.

RED FLAG 7" EP

4  songs

01. RED FLAG
02. TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES
03. GREENHOUSE GASES
04. RAH! RAH! REPLICA (BIKINI KILL)

Bonus Track included on Download

Rat's in the Louvre are back at it again — this time with a powerfully executed four song 7-Inch EP. The power trio blasts out the feisty “Red Flag” and continues their form of heavy postmodern songwriting through the final line of “Greenhouse Gases.” This new release from Rats in the Louvre is hard-hitting and heavy, but layered and delicate at times with strong production and some really catchy tunes. Included here are two cover tunes — Bikini Kill’s “Rah! Rah! Replica” and a surprise bonus track to boot. This is a great introduction to Rats in the Louvre for the first time visitor and a welcome return for those already in the know. Get in the know!
