about the band
Hailing from
Dutchess County,
New York, USA.

The Mighty T-Rat
has turned things
up a notch since
they first created
their original works
in 2002.

Starting out with a
bang playing
outdoor summer
parties and biker
fests, they caught
the eye of an L.A.
Promoter who set
them up with the
big stage and let
them loose.

Thanks J. Hughes ! !

We now know what
you saw first.
THRASH RATCHET
is an explosive force in the heavy metal scene.

With a plethora of years pickled in alcohol, their raw,
bitchin' sound is fermented to the highest legal limit and
can be heard on the new 2008 release '
metalfire', the
long awaited follow up to their 1st full length  CD - "BIG
BOSS IS PISSED", which put them on the map.

Soaking up tricks from the master Paul Orifino at
Millbrook Sound Studios, where the 'Big Boss' and
'Bullets & Chains EP' was recorded, Johnny Blackout took
it upon himself to torture everyone at the 'Third Hole
Studio' and tweeked '
metalfire' into a bomb.

The band has gigged feverishly with national acts such as:
Exodus, Joey Belladonna, Overkill, Prong, Suffocation,
Nuclear Assault, Lynch Mob, Type-O Negative,
Testament, 3 inches of blood, Metal Church, Candy
Striper Death Orgy, and the world famous Twisted Sister.

Currently the band is working on new material, casually
hawking their CDs, and often getting involved with
internet radio. Seeing and hearing them live is a totally
exciting and unforgettable experience, and they have won
over a growing number of fans.
This band lives to play live ! !

These madmen will be thrashing your town soon enough,
so watch the fuck out ! ! !  For the people who really like
heavy, hard driving krunch rock from the streets, speed
freak bashing metal is spelled   "THRASH RATCHET!"
