Straight out of the Crescent City, BRAT are set to release their forthcoming debut album,
Social Grace, via Prosthetic Records on March 15. Since their 2021 inception, the New
Orleans deathgrind / hardcore band’s journey to date has been one of blistering ascension
both on the road and in-studio with relentless US touring and two head turning EP’s already
under their belt. Enter 2024 and BRAT are ready to give extreme music the pink pill.
Between an intense live schedule over the last three years, which saw BRAT share the stage
with the likes of Eyehategod, Cro-Mags and contemporaries in grind such as ACxDC and
No/Mas, the band recorded Social Grace over the course of a year and a half at HighTower
Recording studio (Thou, A Wilhelm Scream, Eyehategod). Recording songs in batches
helped BRAT finetune and focus their songcraft in condensed bursts, resulting in a
coalescence of death metal, thrash, and powerviolence brutality. Social Grace follows
extreme music’s well trodden themes of futility and distaste for humankind’s ruling classes
throughout it’s 10 tracks, with the band’s reverence for psychological horror fiction and
admiration for Stephen King genre classics evident on songs such as Hesitation Wound and
Truncheon, as well as the title-track’s scathing rebuttal of aristocracy.
BRAT’s self-described barbiegrind / bimboviolence aesthetic is one of intentional dichotomy
to their sound, with a keen focus to allow space and inclusivity for outsiders that shirks the
traditional in favor of jubilant authenticity. Feral and ferocious in content and anti-purist in
nature, BRAT’s Social Grace is a cataclysmically heavy party that everyone’s invited to.
