The Ratchets Present 2024 Singles Collection Playlist

In case you’ve fallen behind, 2024 has been a big year for New Jersey roots rock rebels The Ratchets. They have been actively playing gigs to the delight of their hometown crowds in New Jersey, New York, and beyond, and they’ve been on an incredible creative hot streak with their ongoing digital singles campaign via Pirates Press Records!

Kicking off way back in March with the release of “Street Manners,” the band have been regularly releasing new singles showcasing their impressive songwriting & playing chops.

From old school, ’77-style punk rock ‘n roll to groove-laden post-punk, to ska & reggae and more, this collection of songs underlines the band’s uncanny ability to effortlessly fuse diverse styles into their own sound, all while maintaining their humanitarian, proletarian lyrical concerns. They even capped off the year with their own take on a holiday song with “Holy Mother of God.”

Individually, these singles have been among the most popular the band have ever made. Collected together – as the band have conveniently done on this new Spotify playlist – they represent a cohesive body of work that stands alongside the band’s best records! The six singles here would make for a truly killer EP, and with the dub-influenced remixes by Strawberry Zaiquiri thrown in, you get an album’s worth of listening pleasure!

If you don’t already know these irresistible choruses by heart, it’s time to learn them so you can shout along to them at the band’s appearance at the Bouncing Souls’ Home For the Holidays Festival on Sunday, December 29th! Tickets are on sale now and going fast at bouncingsouls.com/homefortheholidays – don’t delay getting yours!

The Ratchets aren’t nearly finished, and the singles campaign will march on into 2025 (and beyond?), but now is a great time for Catching Up With The Ratchets! (Is that a small hint about what’s to come? Maybe!)
