notes
The War was over...The only survivors were street animals: dogs, cats and rats. From these creatures, a new species of mutants evolved: Drats!!!
Portland, Oregon's arty rebel band, Drats!!!, is a new species indeed. Fronted by four devastating singers -Maddog, Yoon, Chad Deitchley, and the notorious Chairman -Drats!!! has caught the attention and imagination of many through their outrageous yet compelling anthems, abnormal imagery, and explosive stage performances. The sextet blends catchy pop songwriting, frenetic art-punk energy, and an imaginative, wicked sense of humor. Balancing demented story lyrics and urgent group vocals against driving percussion and unexpected rock hooks, Drats!!! music is a chaotic Circus of the Stars hosted by Jamie Farr on a maniacal speed binge! After all, the band is named after the original title for the post-apocalyptic Rock & Rule, a 1983 animated motion picture featuring music from Cheap Trick, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed and Blondie.
"Hyper and half serious, this is one hell of an artistic vision." - Marjorie Skinner, Portland Mercury
"Six-member Portland band Drats!!! alternates between quirky rock and harder, faster sounds that bring to mind Richard Hell's work." - The Oregonian

Please log in to review this album.
- author: Cortney Harding (The Portland Tribune)
...it comes across as a funny, harder, more rocking version of They Might Be Giants.
...reminiscent of proto-punks the Modern Lovers...
author: Dave Clifford (The Willamette Week)...literate and strange songs reminiscent of proto-punks the Modern Lovers and, to a certain degree, Oingo Boingo...Drats!!! sounds downright schizophrenic as each voice clamors for attention. Plus, the band's mercurial song structures don't do much to ease the manic tension on its debut disc, Suicide Candy.
grodily fun songs...
author: Julianne Shepherd (The Portland Mercury)With the same vocal, theatrical growl-timbre as Jello Biafra or Lee Ving (but with gutter humor more akin to the latter), Drats!!!' Suicide Candy EP contains punky, grodily fun songs about hot thighs and art-school casualties.
