If self-destruction had an anthem, it’d sound a lot like « Shut My Mouth », the latest sonic gut punch from Citizen Rat. Fueled by filthy fuzzed-out guitars and breakneck drums, this track thrashes like a drunken bar fight between punk and grunge. With a brutal hook—« I’m a piece of sh*t, I can’t shut my mouth »—it’s a chaotic confession wrapped in distortion and defiance. And the video? Shot at FRANKX Studio, it’s a neon-drenched fever dream of strobe lights, vintage couches, and reckless energy. It’s loud, messy, and impossible to ignore—exactly why Slash Music had to put this one on blast.
« I’m a piece of sh*t, I can’t shut my mouth » – Citizen Rat
Citizen Rat: From Ratscallions to Riff Lords
Born from the ashes of Queensland’s grimiest underground acts, Citizen Rat has spent the last two years ripping apart their sound and rebuilding it into something even nastier. Think blistering riffs, punk-metal aggression, and lyrics that cut like a switchblade. Teaming up with Jordan Bain in the studio, they’ve captured the perfect storm of raw power and refined chaos.
And the band’s not stopping now—following the drop of « Shut My Mouth », they’re hitting the road for a series of gigs from Solbar Music (March 15) to Banshees Bar (May 4). If you’re not in the pit, what the hell are you even doing? Citizen Rat is coming in hot—don’t say we didn’t warn you.
