A Los Angeles band that rode the 1980s glam metal wave with catchy riffs and party-ready lyrics.
For the full Ratt experience, start with 'Round and Round' and then check out 'Lay It Down.' That's the core of their sound right there.
Ratt's 1984 debut 'Out of the Cellar' gave rock radio 'Round and Round,' a hit that defined their sound. Songs like 'Lay It Down' kept that mix of sharp guitar work and straightforward, fun lyrics going through the mid-'80s. They were part of that specific LA scene where the shows were loud and the hair was big.
They formed in Los Angeles in 1977 and built a local following before 'Out of the Cellar' broke through in 1984. Lineup changes followed, with Robbin Crosby leaving in 1986 and Stephen Pearcy departing in 1992, though they reunited in 2000. Albums like 'Invasion of Your Privacy' and 'Dancing Undercover' came out in the '80s, and their last studio record was 2010's 'Infestation.'
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
