Rat Silo sharpen their edge with the release of their new EP ‘1933‘, a record that hits with grit, urgency, and a fearless glare at the world around us.
Following the singles ‘I’m A Believer‘, ‘Kill God Now‘ and ‘When The Cops Start Running’ the Canadian alt-rock outfit has unveiled another striking track:
‘Busted‘.
It’s the EP’s defining statement – a song that pushes Rat Silo’s sound into its most incisive, hard-hitting territory yet.
‘Busted‘ lands with raw, unvarnished intensity:
a collision of punchy alt-rock, jagged indie textures, and razor-sharp lyrical realism.
The band digs into the fractures of modern society – institutional decay, blind faith, violence disguised as righteousness – and the personal consequences that spill out from those cracks.
The performance is equally confrontational.
The vocals simmer with frustration and urgency, while the guitars grind forward with Rat Silo’s trademark precision:
tight, rhythmic, and unwaveringly tense.
As the centrepiece of ‘1933‘, ‘Busted‘ crystallizes the EP’s overarching theme – a world caught in a looping pattern of corruption and collapse, history echoing itself with unsettling clarity.
It’s uncomfortable, honest, and deeply human.
With ‘1933‘ now officially released, ‘Busted‘ rises as the EP’s most commanding introduction:
bold, direct, and impossible to overlook.
It’s truth with teeth, delivered in the relentless sonic punch that only Rat Silo can deliver.

has released single
‘Kill God Now’


Brace yourself for a sonic gut-punch – Rat Silo are back with their explosive new single ‘Kill God Now‘, a searing alt-rock anthem that dares to question everything you’ve been taught to fear.
Gritty, fearless, and unapologetically raw, this track is a riot of distorted guitars, pounding rhythms, and fist-clenched rebellion.
Rooted in the traditions of indie and alt rock but laced with a philosophical snarl, ‘Kill God Now‘ isn’t just a song – it’s a statement.
It confronts blind faith, toxic dogma, and the weaponization of religion in a world on fire.
With a pounding hook and lyrics that challenge the very notion of divinity, Rat Silo peel back the layers of belief to expose the fear, control, and hypocrisy underneath.
Lines like
“It’s evolution – the way we change/The laws we break – we misbehave”
scream with modern disillusionment.
And when the chant ‘Kill God Now’ hits, it lands like a Molotov cocktail thrown at centuries of moral corruption.
If rock shall be music loaded with meaning, muscle, and just the right dose of madness, then this Rat Silo’s single is a call-to-arms.
This is not a track for the faint-hearted – but it just might be the one for the free thinkers, the misfits, and the rebels.
Earlier on in 2025 the Canadians had also released single ‘I’m A Believer‘.
Rat Silo aren’t pulling punches with this searing single.
Beneath its chant-like repetition and razor-sharp riffs lies a scathing critique of herd mentality, inherited ideologies, and the echo chambers of modern discourse.
Driving home its point with blunt-force conviction, the track mocks the blind allegiance to outdated beliefs, generational voting habits, and conspiracy-driven delusion.
From the opening bark
“It’s all about me, I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be”
to the song’s pounding refrain,
“I’m a believer,”
Rat Silo holds up a mirror to a society consumed by self-interest and misinformation.
It’s not just a song;
it’s a battle cry against groupthink, propaganda, and the cult of personality.
Lines like
“Q-Anon’s the only one allowed to speak freely” and
“Don’t stop and think about how we got here”
slice through the noise, daring listeners to wake up and ask harder questions.
Fueled by sarcasm, distortion, and biting social commentary, ‘I’m A Believer‘ is a punk-fueled middle finger to willful ignorance – and a reminder that belief without thought is just another form of control.

RAT SILO
has released album
‘Id’

Rat Silo’s ‘Id‘ —named after the Freudian concept of the primal psyche— is the band’s third album with its current lineup.
This post-punk/alt-rock powerhouse merges the visceral energy of a power trio with the dynamic textures of looping and sampling.
Unlike many bands striving for digital perfection, Rat Silo embraces the chaos.
The music is unpolished, unapologetic, and packed with raw authenticity—mistakes and all.
It’s neither improvised nor overly calculated;
it’s the sound of a band baring its soul with unrelenting conviction.
The tracks explore a spectrum of moods:
slow and fast, subtle and intense.
Lyrically, ‘Id’ tackles themes of self-preservation, extreme self-doubt, persecution, and moral dilemmas, delivering an unsettling yet captivating listening experience.
Fans of The Cure, Radiohead, Killing Joke, and Public Image Limited will find themselves right at home with Rat Silo’s distinctive blend of grit and groove.

‘Killedaman‘ by BC’s Rat Silo:
Facing the unbearable silence of the self…
Rat Silo:
“Yes, I did it. I knew it was wrong and I did it anyways. I watched my hands do it. I did it. I am here. He is not. What does THAT mean? He is gone. Where is your God now? Would I run if you let me? I see how you look at me. I deserve worse. It is all the truth and all a lie. It is day and night at the same time all of the time. I have nothing left to give. I threw everything away. Who cares what I think? The Bible says that Hell is the absence of the beloved. You cross the threshold that defines you and you are no longer human. You don’t need to be judged. You will never find redemption. You are writing a story and you cannot bear to end it. Everything that is alive is repulsed by you. Death will not spare you. This goes on forever. All stories have an ending. This is unwritten. Keep walking until you reach the end of the road. There is no map. There are no choices. Born to suffer. Suffer to die. The clock ticks. The heart beats. When does the screaming stop?”
Rat Silo is a remarkable musical entity that defies categorization, blending the sonic prowess of post-rock and punk with an ingenious fusion of disparate influences.
The band consists of four highly talented individuals, each contributing their unique musical abilities alongside electronically enhanced acoustic instruments.
The brainchild of Jim Newton, formerly a member of the renowned Canadian rock band Sons of Freedom, Rat Silo came into existence in 2007.
Jim spearheaded the recording of their debut album, ‘What the Butler Saw‘, during an intensive three-day session.
Joining him were accomplished musicians Don Binns on bass (known for his work with Sons of Freedom, Trailerhawk, Econoline Crush, and Art Bergmann), Sean Stubbs on drums (renowned for his contributions to Numb, SNFU, Jakalope, and Bif Naked), Finn Manniche on guitar (a virtuoso from the Jazzmanian Devils and Van Django), and Dave Osbourne on keyboards (previously associated with 5440).
The album was expertly produced and engineered by Mark Henning.
Following their successful debut, Rat Silo ventured into their second album, ‘doubleplusungood’, recorded under the guidance of Rob Handel (of The Bad Beers) and mixed by the skilled hands of Mark Henning.
This musical endeavor was released to critical acclaim in April 2009.
Their third album, ‘The Great Northern Way‘, marked another milestone for the band, recorded and mixed by the accomplished Dave Ogilvie.
It captivated audiences upon its release in October 2011.
In 2017, the band welcomed Erkan Gencol, a percussionist and electronic DJ based in Vancouver, who added a new layer to their sound with his mesmerizing loops and captivating noises.
Since then, Rat Silo has continued to make their mark on the music scene, releasing three compelling singles:
‘I Sacrifice‘ in 2019, followed by ‘The World Is Going To End Tomorrow‘ and ‘Head On A Stick‘ in 2023.
Additionally, they have gifted their listeners with two albums:
‘The World Is Going To End Tomorrow‘ in 2022 and ‘Unfortunately…‘ in 2023 all recorded by Dave Ogilvie, Liam Moes, and Mike Foster.
Mixed by Anthony Valcic.
These musical offerings showcase the band’s evolving artistry and their ability to push boundaries, delivering a powerful and immersive experience to their audience.
