Lower Class Brats

High-voltage street punk fused with 70s glam swagger and Clockwork Orange imagery. Aggressive, anthemic, and built for the front row of a sweaty club.

Intro

Lower Class Brats deliver a punchy, high-octane blend of street punk and Oi! that refuses to sacrifice melody for muscle. Their sound is defined by driving power chords, thick basslines, and raspy vocals that lead the listener through a series of fist-pumping anthems. It is music that feels like a physical presence in the room, vibrating with the energy of a live performance even on record.

What truly sets them apart is their 'Clockwork Punk' identity, which marries the grit of the Texas punk scene with the theatricality of 1970s glam rock and the dystopian aesthetic of Anthony Burgess. While their peers might lean into pure aggression, the Brats incorporate catchy hooks and 'bovver rock' rhythms that make their songs feel like timeless rock and roll played at double speed. The frequent use of gang vocals creates an immediate sense of community and defiance.

For those new to the 'LCB Army,' the best place to start is their debut full-length, 'Rather Be Hated Than Ignored.' It perfectly captures their mission statement: loud, proud, and unapologetically stylish. It is the ideal soundtrack for anyone who finds beauty in the dirt and power in the shout.

Lower Class Brats are an American street punk band founded in Austin, Texas in January 1995, based out of Southern California since 2017. The play a mix of Punk, Oi!, 70s Glam and straight ahead rock and roll.
