Music of the Day: RATS - SECTION 60

RATS is a five-piece band from Liverpool, UK, known for their genre-blending sound that combines elements of indie rock, ska, and punk. Their music often features sharp storytelling and a touch of humor, addressing various social themes. In November 2024, RATS released the single "Section 60", marking their return to the music scene since their last release in 2022. The track delivers a potent mix of energetic rhythms and biting social commentary, focusing on the UK's controversial stop-and-search policies. The song's title refers to Section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, which grants police the power to stop and search individuals without suspicion in designated areas. Through "Section 60," RATS aim to shed light on the dignity lost due to these practices, all while maintaining an infectious and danceable beat. Band Page: https://rats.os.fan/
