Ariel's Cyber PR presents: The Lab Rats

Ariel Publicity

The Lab Rats






"It's not that their style is undefined or that they sound "like everything," as bands often mistakenly claim. It's just that in Brian Brown and Kelly "KW" Warner's hands, everything sounds like the Lab Rats." -Columbus ALIVE
"It's easy to tag Columbus-based duo The Lab Rats as hip-hop, but it's so much more. On the group's upcoming release, Half Full Ashtrays, Half Empty Glasses, you'll hear jazz, funk, big beats, quirky samples and atmospheric soundscapes." -CIN Weekly
"Hailing from the surprisingly fertile Hip Hop hub of Columbus, rapper/guitarist Brian Brown and multi-instrumentalist DJ Kelly Warner's crafty take on the genre moves one's ass as well as one's mind." -Cincinnati CityBeat

Multi-instrumental musicians from the Midwest US making genre-bending music that has rap, beats, grooves, keyboards, guitars, scratches, riffs, jams, feedback, sweat, laughs, beers, blues and truths. The Lab Rats are defined by a Rock and Roll mentality and a blue collar reality; explained within the realm of hip hop, blues, rock & electronica; determined to make new music.

This is the second offering from this Columbus based Hip Hop duo. Its front porch stories of ghost trains that visit you in the night. It's an existential exercise that explains the purpose of your nervous system. It's a guide to stretching pennies and the art of scratching lottery tickets. It's a deadbeat dad story that would make Oprah Winfrey weep. It's a conspiracy theory from a delirious lyricist. Its half full ashtrays and half empty glasses. Everything you hear on this record (beats, clinks, riffs, skronks, booms and bips) were performed by the Rats themselves and are the result of a self contained effort. No classic recordings were harmed in the making of this album.
