Danish trio Molly to release self-titled album
Ratbag Records are stoked to announce they have signed Danish punk-meets-alt-rock trio Molly for the release of their AU/NZ-exclusive self-titled LP due out Friday 16th September, led by the first single Bagu Bagu. After meeting Dune Rats on tour in Europe last year, the Copenhagen locals are the latest addition to their label, joining Byron Bay boys Skegss and UK prodigy Rat Boy.
On their self-titled album, Molly create an impressively large wall of sound - from the energetic drumming throughout album-opener I Don’t Know You Anymore, to the layered grungry riffs of lead single Bagu Bagu and at times interjected with fuzzy and distorted feedback. Their driving beats are contrasted against slow, drawling vocals creating nine lively and uplifting tracks.
Heavily influenced by the American rock scene of the ‘80s and ‘90s, Molly quickly garnered attention in the underground scene after their formation in 2012. The band released their first full-length album Peach Melba last year, followed by an appearance at Pop Revo and performances over two consecutive years at Roskilde Festival. Molly have drawn comparisons to bands such as Hüsker Dü, Sugar and Dinosaur Jr., all bands who have inspired their trademark sound, built upon catchy rhythms and fast drums.

Dune Rats recall their first meeting with Molly in Copenhagen last year: “We met Molly when they opened for us in Denmark. The club was the grossest we'd played in to date, and because they were still scrubbing blood/other fluid from the previous night’s show off the walls, we had time to burn before we were needed for sound-check. These three guys in the corner we assumed were the opener offered to take us into Christiania, the drug district (literally), to score some weed. The night started and finished with partying above the venue, and in the morning some of these dudes were still there drinking. We asked them if they'd come to Sweden in the van for one show and no money - they said yes, and that's the first time we met Molly.”
Molly joined Dune Rats on every show of their next European tour, and the friendship and mutual love of each-others music was locked and loaded.
