Two Songs by Ratcharmer

HEY YOU RATS !!!

Here you can check out those two mean & dirty songs, recorded back in the cold winter of the year 2021.

At that time, I had to face deep pain in my heart, mind & soul. To fight against those hard times, I tought that holding both guitars, mics & whisky bottles in my hands, and let the rage go out, was the best thing to do.

Both tracks are based on drums samples from bands I like. Then I added bass lines & guitar riffs and sometimes invited friends to colaborate on, the way they wanted. No matter if they consider themselves as musician or not. It was like composing/recording punk noise songs by the hip-hop method.

Anyway, the first track "Je Brûle" is a complete solo work. The drum sample comes from Brainbombs's "Having Fun". It evokes pain, losing love, the desire to die, but also finding a new hope. This is a true personal outlet.

The second song, "So Stupido", is based on a Akitsa's "Cercueil National" drum sample. The fellow you can ear screaming, is my good ol friend Hoel Moce a.k.a. Yeun Elez, ex-singer of bands called Yersinia Pestis or Techno Thriller. You can also notice there's some Yukulélé in it, played by my roommate Fred Pinault.

I could say a lot more about those two pure punk noise bangers, but that's enough for today.

Oh, yeah, just don't miss the "So Stupido"'s guitar solo, Ron Asheton's soul was using me that day !!!!
