Product Overview
‘Pest From The West’, a loud, honest and unapologetically regional punk record that captures life growing up in a coastal country town and throwing yourself at the world.
Written in Geraldton (Jambinu, Southern Yamatji Land), the album leans into everything that defines the band; humour, chaos, community and sharp social commentary. Across the record RATSALAD balance tongue-in-cheek storytelling with more personal moments, taking aim at everything from the absurdity of modern housing prices to identity, belonging and growing up outside the spotlight of major cities.
Built on fast, melodic songwriting and high-energy delivery, ‘Pest From The West’ is designed for sweaty rooms and festival stages, reflecting the band’s rise through relentless touring, sold out shows and headline festival appearances including Nannup Music Festival and Kalbarri Open Air.
