Ira Rat.

In the current issue of The Wire, Joseph Stannard tells us that “some of the most compelling music of 2010 has drawn inspiration from the sickly phantasmagoria of international horror cinema”. Why am I telling you this? Well, first, Ira Rat‘s music comprises some considerable, horror movie-infused scariness, which particularly applies to the video that accompanies Catatonic, one of the few tunes that this band seems to have dropped so far. Second, I’m cheaply referring to other authors’ thoughts to write anything at all, as Ira Rat apparently like to remain in the shades of anonymity, by the way another phenomenon that got extremely popular among up and coming bands in 2010. Last year. Got it? Anyway, Ira Rat seem to hail from Iowa, a fact that is kinda scary in and of itself. Just saying. And they make some extremely fine tunes, obviously, so watch out for more to come.
Oh, and I really hope the two girls are fine.
