What the hell is "TopRock?" topical rock - we don't make the news, we just ROCK it!. And what the hell is a "BroadBand Band?" making music long distance via online streaming audio technology - it's the next best thing to being there. The 'Rats - A duo - two brothers doing the muze long distance, unique in that one Rat resides in Washington the other California. They jam via the internet creating rock long distance. We don't know many others doing it this way, breaking new ground with technology in making music. They may have practically invented a new genre: TopRock (Topical Rock). They're not afraid to breach the social rule of never discussing politics or religion in mixed company. However, their light nonsensical lyrics with boyish vocals reaching searing heights clearly reveal their psychedelic rock roots. One cannot confine them to one sound. The song "New Day (For Mary)" smacks of early Pink Floyd. Yet "When I Was A Boy" sounds alot like something from Tom Petty. Rat one digs the late 60's to early 70's US and Brit influences and are clearly audible. The younger Rat 2 is primarily the hard rocking distorted guitar head banger type also prevelant in most of their work.
