“Rats! We are the rats!” Civil Rats cap off their full-length debut with a cover of M.O.T.O.\u2019s We Are the Rats<\/em>\u2014a fitting closer that could easily double as their personal anthem (though they already have one<\/a>). After two EPs that served as tasty appetizers<\/a>, Get Outta Here!<\/em> 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\u2019s cursed.<\/p>\n

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!<\/em> doesn\u2019t waste a second on polish or pretense\u2014it just barrels forward with hooks, attitude, and fun-first lyrics.<\/p>\n

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(!).<\/p>\n
