The new release from Ratt entitled, "Infestation", will hit stores on April 20th. The album was produced by Michael Baskette (Puddle of Mudd, Saliva, Chevelle) and was recorded in Virginia. Vocalist Stephen Pearcy recently spoke with AOL's Noisecreep, "The best part was having pre-production in Virginia, and getting away from our families and our personal shit and the L.A. scene.......While we were recording, we actually all lived in the same compound. It was great. It was the first time we had ever done that. It was almost like when we lived in a one bedroom apartment we called Ratt Mansion West back in the old days."
Drummer Bobby Blotzer went on to say, "It was a great experience, but there are always speed bumps in Ratt. It's never an easy job to get to the finish line. We're kind of a dysfunctional bunch in the way that we work. It's not an English tea party. It's more like a pirate ship with a bunch of salty dogs. We work hard, we play hard, and it makes the aggression in the music come out more. But when we finally get where we're going, it makes the ride more rewarding."
The first single from "Infestation" called, "Best of Me", is available on the YouTube clip just below.
