A couple years ago, I checked out the band Chain Whip and was pleasantly surprised with their old school frantic punk sound. The band is a lot of fun, so when I heard that one of the members was doing a side project, I was interested to check it out.
Pack Rat is a one man project from the Chain Whip drummer, Patrick. As was probably the case with most musicians, the guy found himself with a lot of time on his hands during the pandemic. He went out and bought himself a guitar and proceeded to bash out ten songs that absolutely deserve to be released on vinyl. These songs aren't as rough and hardcore as the Chain Whip stuff, but instead lean towards a more early punk sound. As soon as the first song kicks off, I can't help but think of bands like The Buzzcocks. This record is catchy as hell.
The last Chain Whip EP, Two Set To Hell, proved to be very difficult to find on colored vinyl, so I did not hesitate with the Pack Rat record. 100 pressed on red vinyl and it quickly sold out
