Of all its mutations, gypsy-punk is probably punk’s most visual lovechild. All four members of RatBag sing their hearts out, accompanied by drums, bass, guitars and accordion. This cheery, foot-stomping musical offshoot couldn’t find a better home than Brighton, and what’s not to love about a band who describe their music as ‘ear-treats’? Still in their infancy, RatBag are one to watch, having already played at the Kemptown festival fundraiser, as well as numerous local hotspots.
