Description
Naked Rat Dance is a fearless mix of revved-up riot grrrl punk, exquisitely silly synths, and pounding guitars. This music scratches every surface—and touches every nerve. Dancefloor aggression management for glitter-covered and genre-flexible people. "Playing live is our only truly functional magic. Celebrating a live show together is magical. But we also live in a time where we all have to be committed— organizing shows—showing up, staying committed. That, too, is magic." Following the sizzling success of their 2023 cassette EP "Note to Tape" (featuring remixes by GHLOW, ABU NEIN, and 100BLUMEN) and the popular 2025 queer anthem "Our Feline House" —the official song of Malmö Pride 2025—The Guilt are ready to make 2026 their loudest year yet. The upcoming album, released via Icons Creating Evil Art, features garage-goth ballads, power-punk bangers, queer anthems, and songs for "pretty normal witches." The Guilt are no strangers to German stages and supermarkets: "One of our main activities in Germany is grocery shopping. We spend our fees on curry ketchup, mate, and vegan cevapcici. We've seriously talked about upgrading the tour bus to fit more snacks. That's just who we are."
