"Rick and Scott Rattler were hatched from a snake egg that was the love child of a redneck snake slut chick and a drunk jock. 16 years after the egg hatched the two found their musical soul mates and have been playing shows and fucking chicks ever since."

What better introduction to "The Worlds Most Awesome Band" than the words from the band Rattler themsleves. Hailing from D.C., Maryland and Virgina, Rattler are tongue-in-cheek, ostentatious, and of course: Awesome. Their music? well its okay; with songs like "Panty Incinerator", "She's Too Young", and "Getting Awesome" exaggeration and self indulgence is Rattlers M.O, not technical mastery or even artistic expression. What does rattler sound like? Well according to their very own Myspace page, Rattler is influenced by none the than.. "ahem", well Rattler and their "Sounds Like" section reveals that they are most reminiscent of "The voice of God after 10 jager bombs". Touring mostly alongside the east coast, Rattler has developed a quite loyal following especially in the D.C area playing the majority of their shows in clubs in D.C. and Baltimore. Their live shows are entertaining and raucous to say the least, having been banned at one point from D.C's very own Black Cat. Rattlers discorgaphy currently consists of a limited edition album of 500 copies that was released in conjunction with fellow label mates Nitro Tokyo and are currently working on their Second studio album "Incoming". If you would like to take part in the mayhem and have the opportunity to possibly get punched in the face or be urinated upon by any or all of the members of Rattler, they will be playing their next show April 30th at the Talking Head in Baltimore.
