The LOWER CLASS BRATS are four punks ripping up the airwaves with an original blend of charged rock-n-roll, Oi!, and street punk. Strong and snotty vocals top the foundation of chainsaw guitar, pounding bass, and gear-like drums with their infamous clockwork precision.

The LOWER CLASS BRATS are four punks ripping up the airwaves with an original blend of charged rock-n-roll, Oi!, and street punk. Strong and snotty vocals top the foundation of chainsaw guitar, pounding bass, and gear-like drums with their infamous clockwork precision.
Unlike most band stories, the history of the LOWER CLASS BRATS did not start out “innocently” enough; it was more like a full-blown attack on their local music scene. The war started in January 1995 in Austin, Texas when the BRATS set out to destroy all of the emo, college, and garage bands that had somehow taken over their city.
Eight years, countless beers, and an undisclosed amount of various addictions later, the boys are still waging war. Not only has their hometown been ravaged, but with the help of fans world wide, they’ve set out to take over the planet. In the time that the LOWER CLASS BRATS have been pounding out their own brand of clockwork punk, they’ve released a fuck-load of recordings. Included in that barrage is 7 7”’s, 2 12”’s, and 2 full-length LP’s- the latest being a 13 song pogo-fest entitled “The Plot Sickens” and a 3 song smasher called “Deface The Music”,
both of which are on PunkCore records.
The BRATS have also worked with such labels as TKO, GMM, Helen of Oi!(England) and Combat Rock(France) and many others. In the year of our punk rock Lord 2001, the boys spent the summer touring the world, including five-weeks with Irish Oi!-boys, Skint, and a six-week U.S. tour with the Unseen from Boston. The tour through the States ended with an on-stage appearance at SF’s “Holidays In The Sun” festival with such greats as Slaughter and the Dogs and the Exploited. Years 2002 and 2003 see the LOWER CLASS BRATS in the studio perfecting their newest anthems for their third LP: “A Class Of Our Own”.
Expect to see it in shops this summer and witness the BRATS on tour kicking your ass!
