A pair of scrappy dudes showed up in our tiny town. Mux loaded in two massive 8×10 bass cabinets while T. Chodd set up on the drum kit. Our dear friends, Rat Babies, came and decimated the Gilmer Arts Playhouse here in Ellijay, and you can listen to it! The doomy sludge is thick and voracious in its attack. These four live tracks (and bonus studio track) were ripped directly out of the void created by Rat Babies.
My favorite track, “Bury a Friend,” pairs thick riffs with melancholy lyrics. The emotion filled track cradles you in a warm wall of fuzz.

Rat Babies – Live From Ellijay
