Biography
Thee Dirty Rats is a garage punk duo originating from São Paulo, Brazil, consisting of Rat Caesar on cigar-box guitar and vocals, and Fernando Hitman on drums and vocals. Also identified as featuring Luis Tissot among the trash-loving rockers, the band embodies a raw, garage rock style aligned with their Spotify genre classification. Limited details exist on their early formation, but they have released music such as the EP 'The Fine Art of Poisoning 1 & 2' and tracks like 'Who's The Man Behind The Rat' and 'Bacterial Bop,' showcasing their punk energy.
The duo's career centers on producing gritty, garage punk music with a focus on unconventional instrumentation like cigar-box guitar, contributing to their niche presence in the international underground scene.
