(bumtapes press release)

"Ratfaces latest offering from Bristol's Bum Tapes is a collection of some of the most immediate, charming and vital pop songs to emerge from British backwaters in what seems like forever. Ratface, a one man and his four-track set-up from the same city, is purveyor of an aesthetic so irresistibly couched in the hooks and histrionics of the instant-song that "Down with Ratface", his official sophomore, manages to feel more at home, more comfortable & more likeable than most contemporary "popular" music whilst simultaneously throwing some of the most original moves in recent British indie-punk-hop"


(review of 'down with ratface' from foxy digitalis)

"I would describe Ratface as the genius of the nouveaux punk generation.Of course, to do so would do something of an injustice to all the other nouveaux punks out there such as Paul Hawkins and Chris T-T who are doing things lo-fi, with ingenious, sometimes simplistic sometimes altruistic lyrics.But Ratface leads the pack really, his debut long-player …On Ice was one of Bearded's records of 2007, it belied what a £3 record should be worth in label terms. Released on tiny DIY label At the Library, it was certainly the best value record of all time, not just 2007, due in part because of the cost, but primarily because of what was included on the record, every track a perfect slice of what the man himself describes as 'punk-hop', which I imagine is hip-hop without the bling, without the faux-street stories from your view from the mansion and without the horrendous levels of bullshit"
