Doll Rats pic

Doll Rats manifested somewhere between the Middle East's exotic mystery and the industrial fog of England. Despite the debaucherous antics, the band RATS have found time to immerse themselves in a fearless and enigmatic musical sovereignty; A startling and beautiful measure of contradictions; thunderous yet ethereal, powerful yet delicate. Eclectic they may be, but united they certainly are, with the intention of bringing undeniably well written stadium rock to the stages it rightfully deserves.

It was an insatiable thirst for the style, energy and emotion of the music that caused them to begin writing, performing and producing their own material, and with all the fun, they never found a reason to stop.

Some bands choose their fellow members on the basis of technical capability, connections with the music industry or even how they look in front of a camera. Tinyfish however exists largely because of the friendship that thrives between the four members and the personal chemistry which naturally results from knowing someone both socially and musically for over twenty years.
