ratbag has continued to defy expectations across a series of wildly varied singles, with NME and Rolling Stone recently naming her as one to watch for 2025. ‘juliet & juliet’ continues to keep listeners on their toes as a buoyant love song that mixes gruesome with saccharine, with ratbag singing strange sweet nothings such as “Juliet, I like your nose ring … Would you care to rip it out and / Put it on my fourth finger now?”
ratbag shares: “‘juliet & juliet’ is about that feeling you get when you’re with your partner in crime. romantic or not, they’re that one person who just gets you and can make any night better by just existing. think of it as a tribute to all the juliets out there.”
‘juliet & juliet’ was debuted live to rapturous audiences across Australia earlier this month as ratbag joined Magdalena Bay on their Imaginal Mystery Tour. Following her debut headline shows in Australia and New Zealand last year, 2025 will see the burgeoning artist play more shows across the globe, including a spot on the lineup at the recently announced Iceland Airwaves in Reykjavík this November.
Stay tuned for more exciting news from ratbag over the coming weeks.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
