Today, North Okanagan, British Columbia art-punk quartet Mock Media have dropped their new track “Rat Bastard.”
The song serves as the lead single from their upcoming debut release of the same name, arriving July 17, 2026 via Mac DeMarco’s Mac’s Record Label.
“Rat Bastard” leans into a classic indie rock ’n’ roll sound, blending raw energy with a sharp, no-frills attitude that feels both nostalgic and immediate.
About the track by Evan Aasen:
“…it is a classic The Cars-inspired rock song to play on the radio while you’re in the shop, working on some rusty metal with the radio on in the background.
‘Rat Bastard’ is a song about everyone having a little rat bastard inside them, acting too wild.
A pop rock song for the whole family to enjoy.”
