Rat Restaurant - Portland Street (Full Album)

A concept album linearly written during and about our final year at uni.
STREAM IT - distrokid.com/hyperfollow/rat...
Recorded with a combined budget of £3.49, Portland Street is an album that has terrorised us for the better part of 2 years.

Got randomly recommended this by youtube and clicked on it bc I love the band name. Excellent decision, I love this album now!!

[@TomoProject]

This album gives me such a feeling of catharsis, thank you Rat Restaurant

[@kylewarner7817]

“I fear the world I live in and I fear the one I don’t, but the world keeps on spinning and that’s what I fear most” Excellent lyric ❤💯👊

[@elgroup8390]

CZcams recomendations really cooked with this video popping out, it sound amazing

[@foncess]

youtube recommendations always cook when it comes to music

[@Avg_Films]

WHAT IS WITH CZcams AND RECOMMENDING ME ABSOLUTE UNDERRATED GOLD LIKE HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO MAJESTIC

[@Why_o_Why]

Perfectly stated. I'm right there with you. I'm loving this Rat Restaurant.

[@kai_surfs7701]

This is so sick guys.

[@kai_surfs7701]

LETS GO IT BLEW UP

[@user-bo6vy5eg8g]

CZcams algorithm has come in as a hero. This is an INCREDIBLE album. The instrumentation and vocals feel so real throughout, and the lyrics themselves are really easy to connect and relate to. The Dead Zone is by far my favorite track, despite the length it stays varied throughout and just sounds good. Absurd how little attention this has gotten - hopefully you guys get the praise that your music deserves. Definitely going to go listen to your previous works.

[@durden91tyler]

Woke up to this randomly recommended on CZcams. Nice morning ❤

Thank you for both making this sick album and for being the reason I finally bothered to learn how to properly spell the word restaurant

[@icemonkey]

this is so high quality for a uni project i really hope you guys release more or i hear one of you eventually in the future, this is actually so inspiring and fucking rocks ❤❤❤🤟🤟

[@aqertis4075]

Man you guys came into my recommended outta nowhere. 9 Months is giving me massive Supertramp Crime of the Century vibes. Excited to give the rest of this a listen when I get the chance

[@Lars-bg1gy]

Possibly one of the best albums I’ve heard in the last 5 years. Keep this up. This is fucking fantastic.

[@MichaelEsparza-we4uw]

Thank you Rat Restaurant, I had an amazing bath with my girlfriend with this. Lovely time we had!

[@plempcio7866]

FLCL meets Disco Elysium but it's a music album about some good lads in UK.
Gave it two listens on an acid trip, what a ride. Wish authors all the best.

[@charaznbl3912]

Wonderful record. I hope there will be more.

[@Bongu5.dongu5]

On of my favourite bands is Roxy music and this kinda reminds me of them so I’m going to be listening to the ever living shit out of this album!

This is genuinely fugin GREAT! Been a while since I’ve come across a whole album this good! King Gizzard I expect it from, Kendrick’s To Pimp a Butterfly is a front to back banger, Frusciante’s solo stuff… random recommendations on CZcams though?! This is GREAT is what I’m saying!

is this a furry band? (thats ok)
