ratbag's Debut EP 'why aren't you laughing?': A Raw, Emotive Feast for the Brave


Rising alt. star ratbag has hurled her debut EP, "why aren't you laughing?" into the world—a four-track ride that's like a rollercoaster through her untamed creativity.


With tracks like "dead end kids," "rot in love," "exit girl," and her debut "rats in my walls," ratbag opens a door, just a crack, into her enigmatic world. “It feels quite scary to hand over my songs,” she shares, “like I’m serving up pieces of me, but it's thrilling. Hope you're hungry.”


ratbag's journey from visual arts to TikTok to this musical saga is an adventurous tale in itself. Imagine fashion diagrams, personal photography, and sculptures—all morphing into a punk-inspired symphony. She's a creative force with an intensity that's unmistakable.


Her debut single, 'rats in my walls,' isn't just a song; it's a battle cry for renewal, a hug for those navigating the shadows. The TikTok-inspired video, a wild nod to 'Where The Wild Things Are,' is her anthem to the weary: "For the exhausted seeking solace, this is your anthem—turn it up, louder than your pests…"


In "why aren't you laughing?", ratbag paints vulnerability and creativity on her canvas, inviting you to join her in this brave, unfiltered space.
