ratbag

Hailing from New Zealand, alt-pop artist ratbag is both an intriguing singer/songwriter and a visual artist, whose unique animated “bandmates” and off-kilter visual aesthetic have made her a rising star online and off. Her 2023 EP why aren’t you laughing? and its songs, including “rats in my walls” and “exit girl,” are engaging, warts-and-all grunge-pop that represent the start of a promising career.
