RAT BOY SHARES NEW SINGLE “HIGH LIFE” AHEAD OF CRASH! RELEASE THIS FRIDAY

Rat Boy is keeping the momentum rolling ahead of the release of his highly anticipated new album CRASH!, dropping this Friday via Hellcat Records.

Today, the Essex-born artist unveiled his latest single, “High Life,” offering fans another taste of the genre-blurring energy that has made Rat Boy one of the most unique voices in modern alternative music. The track arrives just days before the release of CRASH!, which was produced by punk rock icon Tim Armstrong of Rancid.

Over the years, Rat Boy has built a reputation for refusing to stay in one lane. Pulling inspiration from punk, hip-hop, indie rock, ska, and alternative music, his sound has always been unpredictable, energetic, and unmistakably his own. “High Life” continues that tradition, delivering infectious hooks, sharp songwriting, and the rebellious spirit that has defined his career from the start.

The collaboration with Tim Armstrong feels like a natural fit. As the frontman of Rancid and founder of Hellcat Records, Armstrong has spent decades championing artists who challenge expectations and bring fresh perspectives to punk and alternative music. His influence can be felt throughout the project, helping channel Rat Boy's chaotic creativity into a focused and compelling collection of songs.

“High Life” showcases the strengths that have made Rat Boy a standout artist in today's crowded music landscape. The track balances catchy melodies with a gritty edge, blending punk attitude and alternative swagger into a song built for repeat listens. It's the kind of anthem that feels equally at home blasting through festival speakers or soundtracking a late-night drive.

With CRASH! arriving this Friday, excitement continues to build around what could be one of Rat Boy's most significant releases to date. If “High Life” is any indication, listeners can expect an album packed with personality, energy, and the fearless experimentation that has become synonymous with the Rat Boy name.

Fans can stream “High Life” now and prepare for the arrival of CRASH! this Friday via Hellcat Records.
