Ghent Festivities Day 4: The Rats

◊ The Rats ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Free concert ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ The Rats is a post-punk band from Deinze / Ghent that has grown over the past few years into one of the most exciting live bands of the Belgian guitar circuit. With a sound that is as indebted to the pioneers of post-punk as it is to the current wave of British guitar bands, they bring sharp riffs, driving bass lines, and a boundless energy that comes into its own perfectly on a stage. Expect no nostalgic trip, but a band that bends the genre to its will and plays every performance with an almost untamable intensity. For fans of: Shame, Gang Of Four, High Vis, IDLES
