Some bands get column inches for all the wrong reasons...other bands are simply in it for the music, which is why rather than have an elongated interview about which supermodel their shagging or how many gigs they've cancelled last minute cos they smacked out their head, we're simply giving you the basic facts on the Rodents and letting the music speak for itself. The music is a glorious mixture between Dogs Die In Hot Cars with the force of the Foo Fighters. Their debut album is a compilation of their 3 EP's to date and unlike the Kaiser Chiefs who are 1 great single and 12 fillers, this band have a plethora of great songs to choose from.

strong. A lot of the local radio stations are now doing more to promote unsigned bands which is great. some bands to watch are lucerna, the ads, b comrades,

RODENTS FACT 4: The success of any band (Franz Ferdinand) from a major city always has a positive effect on the music scene of that city, not just from record companies and media but it also encourages people to join bands and start making their own music.

RODENTS FACT 6: The highlight for the band with regards to "sometimes" was the response the album received in america, lots of radio plays and charting in some credible music charts with some big names.
