Sky Rats

Sky Rats' first album 'Raised to the Ground' was released in 2005 and has been likened to Foo Fighters, Nickelback, Greenday and Chris Rea.

The song 'Don't Look in the Trunk' was awarded a Runner up spot in the UK Songwriting Competition 2007 and continues to perplex and entertain listeners with its film like story of an accidental murder and the main character's desperate attempt to dispose of the body. Other topics explored lyrically include politics, smoking, religion and a prostitute looking for a mortgage. Rock in genre.

The second album 'Unlucky for Some' was released in 2007 and a number of songs have been placed in the top ten of various international competitions. Subjects such as drinking, partying, journalism and girlie mags occupy the lyrical content here. Again the genre is firmly in the Rock area.

Sky Rats' third album released in 2010 adopts a different sound. More acoustic with idiosyncratic beats and a wider range of instrumentation makes for a much cooler, laid back feel - Jason Myraz vs Paul Simon? Lyrical content ranges from apprehension about a first child through to a put upon wife throwing the errant husband's belongings out of the window (including his Apple Mac!) just as he arrives home after a night on the razzle.

Many of Sky Rats' tracks are selling well and regulary chart on a number of sites such Noisehead.com and Ooizit .com.

Four Sky Rats' songs have made the top ten in three national and international song competitions during the last three years, the highest being a runner up ('Don't Look in the Trunk' UK Songwriting Competition 2007).
