At last, 'In The Shadow Of The Bomb', the pummelling single from Rat Cage is back in print after a limited lathe run on Lughole Records last year. The A side is a Burning Spirits style ripper, inspired by a trip Hiroshima and witnessing the devastating long lasting effects that nuclear war has on a city and country. 'In The Shadow' sonically nods to classic Japanese hardcore, but still maintains the typical Rat Cage blend of Scandi/UK punk. On the flip side, 'Scared Of The Truth', is a political mid pace stomper that rumbles with power in a 'State Violence, State Control' fashion, while somehow also sounding like Out Cold at their most rocking. A glimpse through the cracks as to what's coming next from Rat Cage in 2023.
