Rat Cage announces new album Steady On Now
Sheffield’s Rat Cage didn’t just pick a band name; they built a sonic cage that perfectly matched their output. From the moment the music hit, listeners were immersed in something fast, raw, frantic, and utterly visceral—a signature sound rooted deep in dirty hardcore punk.
The band’s aesthetic is loud, immediate, and uncompromising, delivering an energy that refuses to be contained. While their guttural attacks draw heavily from the rawer sounds of the early nineties and eighties, what sets Rat Cage apart is their refusal to simply mimic those influences. They harness those historical sounds not as pastiche, but as fuel, channeling them through a lens of sheer urgency that makes every note feel immediately necessary.
This intense musical philosophy was recently highlighted by the band’s announcement regarding their latest release. They unveiled their new album, Not Asking For Much, offering listeners a dive back into that uncompromising sonic landscape.
A standout track from the new material is “Steady On Now,” which perfectly encapsulates the relentless pace and raw intensity that defines Rat Cage‘s sound. It’s a declaration of intent wrapped in pure, chaotic energy, confirming why their name remains synonymous with visceral punk rock.
