THE BAND
A POWERTRIO in search of the razor-sharp edge between heavy and punk. Rats and Daggers focuses the intention of IDLES, the schwung of QOTSA and the fuck-it-all attitude of Amyl and The Sniffers into flying punkrock projectiles that awaken moshpits instantaneously. Live they are both disarming and exceptionally expressive whilst they play energetic, sincere punk straight from the tips of their toes. Sure to stir everyone in the room and offer them a moment of temporary escape.
​
Besides a sold out debut EP release show in DBs, Rats and Daggers have played at Sniester (twice), Valkhof Festival, Offroad, the Melkweg, Ekko, Vera and a good 21 shows at Popronde 2022. They supported bands as LIFE, Sprints, Pigsx7 and Screaming Females and organized their own sold out festival Beware of Banshees: a festival that focuses on setting a new norm in gender diversity on stage within heavy music.

After having played 44 shows in 2022, they will end 2023 after 20+ gig with their “Last Fall Tour”: the last shows before they record their second EP, which will be released in Spring 2024. Expect a darker, more experimental side and get a little taste during the Last Fall Tour.
