The Rats bite back after 36 years. Citizens of Boomtown will be released on 13 March 2020! Hmmm… that’s quite a long time to wait though, so for some affirmative action, you can pre-order it, along with a host of wordy bits, special editions and audio formats. Pre-orders available right now.
Many aeons ago, the prophets of Boomtown foretold of a rag-tag bunch that would spew from the retched stench of society’s wastelands to emerge as rat revolutionaries, top dog adversaries and socio-political emissaries.
Their mission, to deny, deafen and conceptualise the world’s understanding of itself. However, and as to be expected of these futuristic Boomtown Boomers, things didn’t go to plan.
The elite team, heralded centuries ago as “the Boomtown Rats”, was borne into existence in a surprising turn of events. As the Irish folk-rock sixsome of the same name figured themselves rockstar legends, the prophecy was fulfilled in a whirlwind of bleeding fingers, smoke-filled chests and extreme lapses in judgment. The year was 1975.
Behold now, the Boomtown Rats’ interwebular communications platform – a cross-dimensional, sacrificial altar to the gods of olde Boomtown. Consider this a place to envelope yourself in the fuzziness of four (sometimes six) rampaging rat rumps, their merch and all the latest from the Boomtown Rats.
