Formed in South East London by vocalist/guitarist/songwriter Courtney McMahon and guitarist Chris Bull the Rats-Tails project quickly became defined for its bold visual presence and willingness to bend the boundaries of dream-pop beyond the norm. Only a handful of releases into their career, the band’s self-determined ‘Dream Rock’ sound has already shown itself as one of great dexterity and ambition. Sophomore single Coke In the 70s’ blasted out epic, sprawling shoegaze that comfortably managed to dip its toes still into Latin lounge-rock. Last year's single Flowers which blends psychedelic-folk, dream-pop and scratchy indie-disco. This October, Rats-Tails will release their debut Dream Rock extravaganza EP titled ‘Public Domain’.
A regular and much-loved feature on the London grassroots circuit for the past 2 years, alongside numerous headlines, Rats-Tails have shared stages with the likes of Girl Ray, Friedberg, Cotoba, Automotion, Tapir!, Honeyglaze, Cosmorat and The Last Whole Earth Catalog, winning early press backing from indie champions Far Out, Rough Trade Counter Culture, Groupie, Hard of Hearing, Still Listening, Get In Her Ears, The New Age Magazine and Post-Brexit Pop. Rats-Tails have played festival slots at East London Block Party (2024) and 2025s Outertown Festival in Bristol.
