Satan's Rats / Satan's Cats
Satan's Rats was formed in January/February 1977 by college kids Paul Rencher (vocals) and Steve Eagles (guitar/vocals), who were joined by Sharpie (bass) and Clint Driftwood (drums). The band made its live debut at Bretforton Village Hall on 4th March, 1977, shortly after which Sharpe quit, to be replaced by Roy Wilkes. This reconfigured lineup taped its first demo in early 1977, recording six songs: 'Don't Come On', 'Tin God', 'Year Of The Rats', 'Punk Rock Gig' and two others. The day after, Driftwood quit, apparently at the insistence of his father, who didn't want his son playing in a Punk band. So while Driftwood settled "for a job in the pork pie industry", he was replaced by Olly Harrison.

Satan's Cats is a new collaboration between 3 members of 1977 UK Punk band Satan's Rats & vocalist Puss Johnson of Pussycat & The Dirty Johnsons.
Satan’s Cats solely rely upon some of those sonic maneuvers usually heard in the works of the bands who roamed the Punk scene from the mid-seventies to mid-eighties. Some experienced ears might notice generous servings of garage rock and rock’n’roll lurking around, and you wouldn’t be wrong because this material also shines bright with those qualities. Perhaps you’ll also stumble upon the finest properties of other complementary music genres. There are plenty of them involved, but Punk Rock, Garage, and Rock ’N’ Roll are the most dominant ones in the mix. The entire band emits tremendous energy from scratch to finish. You’ll immediately notice how Johnsons’s powerful voice perfectly fits these orchestrations. The band relies upon three to four-chord progressions and catchy riffs, which have always been a staple in classic Punk Rock sound. There are also some guitar solos that might resemble something Rockabilly, Psychobilly, Rock ’N’ Roll, and Surf Rock bands would include in their songs. Of course, vividly hearable basslines are one of the main characteristics of classic Punk Rock and this material wouldn’t sound this good without these low-end tones. The exceptional drumming performance keeps everything in line with profoundly dynamic rhythmic sequences, accentuations, fills, and other percussive acrobatics. This material carries all the creativity and experience these musicians earned over the years.
