Cadillac Blindside is a band from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. Formed in 1997, the band combined melodic distorted guitars, thematically dark lyrics, and hauntingly hooky vocal harmonies solidifying their place as one of the sonic pioneers of the early 2000’s emo punk rock sound. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the release of their critically acclaimed debut LP, “Read The Book Seen The Movie”.Toilet Rats is a one-person operation conceived, performed, and maintained by Tommy Ratz, an elusive character who allegedly operates out of a small studio in the sewers beneath Minneapolis, MN where he is surrounded by synthesizers, guitars, and fast food wrappers. Unable to get internet or television signals in the sewer, Ratz collects discarded VHS tapes, audio cassettes, and discarded brochures, which inform his sense of reality and worldview. As a result, he is regularly expectant of national threats that have long passed, and wildly behind on trends and cultural norms. His thought process is therefore not unlike flipping through daytime television channels circa 1983. Undoubtedly, he would use the wrong fork while dining with a visiting monarch. Because he listens to discarded cassette tapes to satiate his musical cravings, Toilet Rats music influences and output is an amalgamation of synth pop, thrash metal, and spaghetti western soundtracks.
"Rad Owl are scene veterans fully displaying they know how to pull together a punk song: no filler and packed with dual guitar rhythm and melody, just the right amount of crunch, all held together with driving bass and drums. For listeners bored with hipster, trendy rock that prefer to take pleasure in the recordings of Align, Propagandhi and Samiam, look no further." – Big Takeover Magazine
