RAT BOY ‘CRASH’ BACK WITH “BROKEN”

byAce Hartmann

Fronted by the irrepressible Jordan Cardy and forged alongside bandmates Harry Todd, Liam Haygarth, and Noah Booth, Rat Boy’s newest effort signals a deliberate shedding of polish in favor of immediacy.

From the restless corners of Albany, New York comes a sound neither tempered nor tamed. Prince Daddy & The Hyena, long known for their unruly spirit and combustible stagecraft, have returned with a new long-playing record entitled Hotwire Trip Switch, issued April 17 through Counter Intuitive Records.
