British punk bank Rat Boy has announced a new album called Suburbia Calling, due on Hellcat Records on Oct. 4.
The record was recorded in Los Angeles, CA with Tim Armstrong (Rancid) and while punk in spirit, the record also draws from Britpop, '90s indie, and 2-tone.
Vocalist Jordan Cardy gives more context to Suburbia Calling, stating, “I wanted to sing about Essex. Essex is where we live and when you’ve grown up somewhere you notice things about it. There’s so much to draw on. Essex is really close to London but it’s different in a lot of ways. We’ve got a lot of freedom here, we built a place where we can record and rehearse and hang out, somewhere you wouldn’t be able to have in London.”
