Rats Department is a band born in LA in 2024. Their debut album Culture Shock blends raw energy with Eastern European grit, diving headfirst into themes of insanity, paranoia, and immigrant identity—with a few broken teeth along the way. Self-produced from start to finish, the record captures the duo’s unfiltered voice and vision. Loud. Direct. Unapologetic.
