This is local thrash metal / death metal / grindcore / powerviolence. Pretty self explanatory, but think of it as hardcore + metal, if you’re not too well versed in the metal or hardcore scenes (nor am I, to clarify). It’s VERY fun to mosh around to, and the members of BRAT are involved in local hangs like Poor Boys, Parasite, and Under Nine Gallery. If you like angry screaming vocals that you can’t understand, hard guitars and fast drums, this is for you. RIYL God, Coalesce, Escuela Grind, Maul, Mongrel - DC
