RAT ROD

Philly’s Rawest Rock ‘n’ Roll Machine

Straight outta Philadelphia and built for speed, Rat Rod is a no-frills, high-octane rock ‘n’ roll band that brings the grit, grease, and groove. With twin guitars blazing, thunderous drums, and vocals that cut through like a blown-out V8, Rat Rod channels the glory days of classic hard rock and metal with a modern edge.

Formed by seasoned players with a shared love for loud riffs and louder engines, the band delivers unapologetic anthems forged in sweat and steel. Their music is a fist in the air—think AC/DC meets Skid Row with a shot of Motorhead.

Whether they’re tearing up dive bars or sharing the stage with legends, Rat Rod brings the fire every time. No gimmicks. Just gas, guts, and rock ‘n’ roll.
