Celebrating a decade of music-making, Happy Birthday, Ratboy is a heartfelt retrospective from Chicago indie rock outfit Ratboys, released as a surprise on April 1st, 2021 — exactly 10 years after the band's debut EP first dropped. The album brings together new recordings of those original songs alongside rare college-era tracks and one brand-new composition, offering a compelling look at where the band started and how far they've come.
The A-side revisits the five songs from the original RATBOY EP with fresh arrangements crafted by the current lineup, while the B-side digs into early rarities and the newly written "Go Outside," making this a rewarding listen for longtime fans and curious newcomers alike. Released on Topshelf Records, this vinyl edition presents the album's natural A-side/B-side structure in a visually striking "Red Velvet" red and white swirl pressing.
