Formed in 2010, Ratboys began as a humble duo by Notre Dame Freshman Julia Steiner and Dave Sagan. By 2017, they’d become a fully-fledged four-piece, relocated to Chicago, and were opening for acts like Soccer Mommy and Diet Cig with heaps of critical praise to line their nest (I assume all ratboys build little nests for themselves. My ratboy husband certainly does). Jump to today, and the band is headlining their own full US tour in support of their sixth album Singin’ To An Empty Chair. They brought their infectious indie rock energy to Studio 1A during their stop in Austin, and we’re thrilled to give you an exclusive free download from that session today.
