“Rats! We are the rats!” Civil Rats cap off their full-length debut with a cover of M.O.T.O.’s We Are the Rats—a fitting closer that could easily double as their personal anthem (though they already have one). After two EPs that served as tasty appetizers, Get Outta Here! is the main course: double the size, just as lean, and built entirely on concise garage punk nuggets that treat the two-minute mark like it’s cursed.

The Philadelphia trio avoids bloat like it’s a trap, and that hit-and-run ethos suits their sound perfectly. This is fast, scrappy, garage punk with enough goofy charm and snot-nosed energy to keep kids of all ages grinning. Get Outta Here! doesn’t waste a second on polish or pretense—it just barrels forward with hooks, attitude, and fun-first lyrics.

Call it punk rock for people who still believe in the magic of three chords and zero patience. Out now on Dummest Records on cassette and LP(!).
