The Story Behind Every Song On Ratboys’ New Album Singin’ To An Empty Chair
Every Ratboys album is good. The Chicago indie rockers have been in the game for six albums and 16 years, and they’ve only gotten better at their sound, which carries echoes of emo and pop-punk and alt-country and classic rock without fully steering into any of them.
