Just when you think Bart De Vraantijk has finally run out of riffs, another 7″ appears. Brats Being Brats lands on Big Neck Records and does exactly what the title promises: no reinvention, no sudden prog ambitions, just more of that glorious budget-bin Ramonescore that Bart and the Brats have turned into an art form.

These songs have that classic BatB trick of sounding like they were written in about five minutes and somehow sticking in your head for days. The guitars buzz, the drums shove everything forward, and before you know it you’re halfway through the record wondering why a song that dumb is suddenly the thing you’ve been humming while making coffee.

If you’ve enjoyed previous BatB releases, you already know the deal: fast, catchy, slightly dumb in the best possible way, and impossible not to pogo to.
