Bio
State Radio drummer Mike Najarian's project, Ratfynkt, began with basement tapes recorded in Duxbury, Massachusetts in 2007. Beginning in 2008 the band began to make a name for itself by playing venues such as the Hard Rock Cafe, Harper's Ferry, and the Middle East in Boston, Massachusetts. From 2009-2011 the band played more shows throughout the Northeast and down the East Coast. Ratfynkt prides themselves in being a socially conscious alt rock band (reminiscient of Alice in Chains, Nirvana, and Tool in sound).
In 2009 and early 2010, Ratfynkt recorded tracks for their debut album 'Populate'. The album was released mid October 2010 under the indie label DeRame Records. In December 2010 Ratfynkt recorded tracks for their acoustic/electric EP 'Bare None', which was released on June 18, 2011.
