Australian based alt-rock artist LAB RAT releases his latest single ‘Lost in Soho’

“compelling” SPACE SOUR “alt-rock masterpiece” HONK “powerful lyrics and magnetic sound.” ROTATE

Australian based alt-rock grunge rap artist LAB RAT releases his debut album ‘In The Walls, We Wait” this Summer via Mushroom Pillow. This is preceded by his latest single ‘Lost In Soho’ – OUT NOW.  His previous critically acclaimed singles are ‘Drunk’, ‘Exit Path’ and ‘Rolling Loud’.

LAB RAT plays his first ever UK shows at the Great Escape Festival between 14th – 17th May.  One of the album tracks ‘Car Crash’ is featured in the forthcoming new Netflix series ‘Olympo’ this June.

The forthcoming album landing early Summer:  ‘In The Walls, We Wait’ sees LAB RAT transforms struggle into sound, forging a powerful collection of songs that rise from the depths of despair toward a future fueled by resilience. Each track channels raw emotion through intense riffs and anthemic melodies, turning personal lows into fuel for reinvention. This is more than just an album—it’s a declaration of strength, proving that even in the darkest moments, there’s always a way forward. Bold optimism meets unrelenting rock energy.

“The contrast between light and dark moments on the album is its greatest strength. One track might have you feeling unstoppable, lost in the energy and freedom of the moment, while the next drags you into the depths of existential reflection. It’s this balance of contradiction — celebration and despair, pleasure and pain — that makes ‘In The Walls, We Wait’ a compelling listen. The album isn’t trying to provide answers, it’s simply asking the questions that we all face, whether we want to admit it or not.”                                                                                LAB RAT

In 2014, having reclaimed his life from the clutches of addiction, Dylan found himself at a crossroads. Fueled by the memory of his late brother (who tragically died in a car accident) and driven by an unyielding determination, he sought refuge in Singing Bird Recording Studios in Melbourne, determined to carve out a path in the music industry. Despite facing numerous hardships, including physical altercations on stage and bouts of hunger, Dylan persevered, finding solace in a community of kindred spirits who shared his vision.

It was during this tumultuous journey that Dylan’s path intersected with Mushroom Pillow, a European label renowned for its innovative approach to music. Dylan knew he had found his musical home. With the support of his friend and mentor, ‘Coach’, he embarked on a new chapter, transcending the confines of the Australian music industry to forge a global presence with Mushroom Pillow by his side.

Dylan’s story is one of redemption and resilience, a testament to the transformative power of music and the indomitable human spirit. Through triumph and adversity, he continues to defy the odds, inspiring others to persevere in the face of darkness and uncertainty. As he navigates the uncharted waters of the international music scene, Dylan remains steadfast in his commitment to authenticity, channeling his experiences into art that resonates deeply with audiences worldwide.

This is exemplified by the latest single – ‘Lost In Soho’ (out now) : the track is about becoming slowly disillusioned with the life you’ve been living and fighting against yourself to try to make a change. Who cannot relate to this …?
