Ahead of their new E.P Don’t Play With Fire getting it’s official release in early October, the electric quartet will be bringing the power to live venues all over the UK with each show set to kick off. China Rats combine the best parts of 70s punk with a modern indie twang to create a sound distinct to themselves, and have given themselves a sterling reputation in the meantime.

Putting the frustrations of most twenty something men these days into song lyrics could prove a bit of a handful for most, but for the raucous rockers it seems to come effortlessly. The group recently released an inventive video for latest track N.O.M.O.N.E.Y which saw them all being replaced by a collection of coins. Well at least it’s a bit different to the normal boy meets girl, they fall in love, disaster strikes that we’re used to seeing all over the place eh? You can check out the video below, and it’s a bloody good song to go along with it too.
