Formed in the vibrant musical landscape of New Orleans, BRAT has emerged as a powerhouse in the extreme metal scene. Blending elements of grindcore, thrash, groove, and Southern metal, amidst samples of such artists as Britney Spears and CASCADA, the band has forged a distinct sound that continues to resonate with swelling audiences within brutal music.
BRAT‘s journey began with a group of friends sharing a passion for aggressive, riff-driven music. Drawing inspiration from the city’s eclectic heavy music scene, coupled with a smattering of bubblegum pop, BRAT have gone on to develop a sound, or possibly even genre in the way of “barbie-violence”, uniquely their own.
With relentless energy and raw intensity, BRAT are quickly gaining recognition for their pulverizing live performances. Their dynamic stage presence and infectious energy captivate, and even slightly confuse audiences, earning them a growing following both locally and beyond.
In the studio, BRAT has translated their ferocious live energy into a series of hard-hitting recordings. Their debut album, 2024’s “Social Grace“, marked by blistering riffs and guttural vocals, has acted as an aggressive announcement to their arrival on the metal scene.
Beyond their music, BRAT embrace the ethos of the metal community, championing unity, resilience, and unique self-expression. Their lyrics often delve into themes of rebellion, darkness, and social commentary, resonating with listeners on a visceral level.
With a relentless work ethic and an unwavering dedication to their brutal delivery, New Orleans’ “barbiegrind” act BRAT has declared that they’re here to stay. Whether you like it or not.
