Ratboys

Ratboys are an American indie rock band from Chicago, Illinois, formed in 2010 by singer/songwriter/guitarist Julia Steiner and guitarist Dave Sagan. The group’s current lineup consists of Steiner, Sagan, bassist Sean Neumann, and drummer Marcus Nuccio.

Regarding their band name, Steiner told Alternative Press,

When I was 14, a bunch of my friends gave me the nickname “Ratboy.” It became a favorite inside joke of ours, and then when I started writing songs and recording solo stuff a couple years later, I kept the name. Eventually I met Dave [Sagan], and after we started recording together, he was cool with keeping the name. Eventually we added the “s” to appease another Ratboy in upstate New York, and the rest is history.
