The B-Movie Rats are a band trying to put the Rock back in Rock and Roll. Guitars, guitars, guitars. In 1996 (then a 4 piece) the band got together and decided to start a band that would get back to the basics of ROCK and master song writting. With a singer, guitarist, bassist, and a drummer playing a snare, bass drum, high hat, and cowbell they set out to take over the world of Rock and Roll. In the first year and a half they were known as one of the most intense and hard working Punk Rock and Roll bands in California. The music was described as a train rolling out of control down a steep hill on its way to crashing into music history.

Fast and furious, the boys had something to prove to themselves and the world, and succeeded with their debut CD/LP 'Killer Woman' that got critical kudos from all the top independent and underground press across the globe. As time has passed the band has slowly weeded out a major part of the punk in their song writting. As a follow up to 'Killer Woman' the B-Movie Rats recorded their second full length in New York in the middle of their 3rd U.S. tour. This sophomore effort has been touted as a 'master piece' by those who have had the luck to have heard it at this point (May 2000). Due to typical independent label Snafus the CD/LP will not be released in the U.S. until July 2000. It is titled 'Bad For You' in the U.S. The European version 'Make You Bleed' was released in November 1999 and has recieved rave reviews in such European magazines as Metal Hammer, KERRANG!!!, and Ox. While working out the details of the New York recording the band recorded 6 songs for a split LP/CD with their Los Angeles counterparts the Hellbenders called 'Distilled' due to the fact that both bands recorded the material for this split at the Distillery in Costa Mesa. This was yet another progression for the band. Musically more mature and intricate than prior recordings. With a demo ready to be shopped, the band is looking to step up to the next level with a bigger label, management, and publicity.

Now in the light of the new Millenium, the band has added a second smoking guitarist and are writting their most amazing music to date. Mature, intelligent songs with the same intensity they have always possesed. With songs that mix the best elements of The Rolling Stones, the Faces, the Who, Rush, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, and the intensity of the bands punk roots, as well as the integrity that is the B-Movie Rats, the band wants to breath life back into a music scene that (they feel) has become stale and unfeeling. To quote a member of the band, 'Remember when music made people feel something? When rock was a good time? We want to bring that feeling back.'
