Let’s meet the Brazilian garage punk duo Thee Dirty Rats. Hailing from Sao Paulo, the group features the trash-lovin’ rockers Luis Tissot (Fab. Gogoboy from Alabama, Jazz Beat Committee, Human Trash, The Great Munzini) on guitar and Fernando Hitman (one-man-band Hitman) on drums. With instruments made from repurposed trash like a cigar-box-guitar and garbage can drums, the boys also throw in some broken down synths to round out their spastic sound.
Thee Dirty Rats are currently readying a 16-track LP entitled Humans Out due for release on August 14th via the Brazilian label Mandinga Records. With most tracks clocking in at under two minutes, Tissot and Hitman prefer cutting right to the point rather than beating around the proverbial bush. “Bacterial Bop” is the LP’s lead track and its highly infectious bounce might just cause a new outbreak of St Vitus’ dance.
