The Ratchets – “News On High” Digital Single Out Now; Latest from the Band’s New Singles Campaign

Have you heard the “News“? New Jersey punks The Ratchets have delivered the “News on High” – the latest dispatch in their ongoing singles campaign! The new song is available NOW to stream and download across all major streaming platforms as well as Bandcamp. The new single is backed by “Truth Dub,” a heavy dub-influenced version of the A-side by Strawberry Zaiquiri.

“News On High” is a multi-faceted political pop gem that imagines each news-cycle as a hit single blasting out of stereos across America. The reggae-infused verses build into a four-on-the-floor chorus that dares you to turn up the volume and dance. The band takes lyrical aim at the blending of entertainment and politics; news and outrage; and the media’s never-ending loop of hysteria that is both divisive and dangerous. Turn up the News On High!

The new single follows “Street Manners,” “Swagger With Kindness,” and “Hurricane Condition” in the band’s current multi-year singles campaign.
