Dirty Rats are a no-nonsense Aussie pub rock band, playing beer barns and inner-city clubs throughout Melbourne and country Victoria. Over the last 30 years, the band have developed a sound that is typically Australian hard rock, think AC/DC, Rose Tattoo. But listen more closely and you'll hear influences from the MC5's, Motorhead and even some punk rock. They have developed a loyal fan-base both here and overseas based on their kick-ass live shows and critically acclaimed first album, Rock n Roll plus the new release End In Tears. This band plays purely for the enjoyment of playing loud "balls to the wall" rock. Dirty Rats are a lean, mean and explosive 4 piece band pumping out some of the best new guitar driven rock, with a uniquely 80's flavour, that you will hear today.
