Recensie op de krenten uit de pop: dekrentenuitdepop.blogspot.com/2025/02/revi... De Rotterdamse band Rats on Rafts reproduceert op haar nieuwe album op prachtige wijze de postpunk en new wave uit de jaren 80 en heeft een album gemaakt dat in de jaren 80 zomaar mijn favoriete album had kunnen zijn.

Rats on Rafts uit Rotjeknor in een redelijk goed gevuld Vera Groningen.

Playing at Merleyn in Nijmegen on Saturday with Nouveau Vélo! 🚨 Only a handful of tickets left for this show‼️ 🎟️ Tickets & info: www.doornroosje.nl/event/rats-o...

@ratsonrafts.bsky.social presenteert hun nieuwe album Deep Below. In deze podcast praat Wim du Mortier met David Fagan onder andere over de ontstaansgeschiedenis van het album, analoge opnametechniek en we luisteren naar inspiratiebronnen. #podcast #ratsonrafts #firerecords

Rats on Rafts @ BelloBar Dublin Sunday February 16th www.ticketmaster.ie/rats-on-raft...

@ratsonrafts.bsky.social slaat met Deep Below een nieuwe weg in. Het is een stemmig album met vooral lange nummers op langzaam tempo uitgevoerd. Het meest consistente album in sound en sfeer en daarmee ook hun beste werk, het mooiste, tot op heden. #firerecords #kuriousrecordings #recensie

Twee dagen geleden kwam het nieuwe album Deep Below van @ratsonrafts.bsky.social uit. Het mooie van deze band is, dat ze me bij iedere nieuwe release steeds weer aangenaam weten te verrassen. Door consequent niet in herhaling te willen vallen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEYm... #inthedutchmountains

Next week, the Deep Below tour kicks off in North Shields! 🎶 Two weeks of shows in England, Scotland, and Ireland! 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇮🇪 Who’s coming? 👀 Tickets: ratsonrafts.lnk.to/Tour

@ratsonrafts.bsky.social return to shake up the post-punk scene with their new album, “Deep Below”, via Fire Records, accommodating their style to a darkness of vivid sentimental vulnerability, lo-fi reverberated vocals and mournful new wave #NBTW retratandovoces.blogspot.com/2025/02/rats...
