BABYRAT - Pretty Ugly EP BABYRAT

Following the release of their debut single ‘Roses’ and a breakthrough year on the Irish live music scene, rising Cork four-piece BABYRAT today announce their highly anticipated debut EP, ‘Pretty Ugly’, arriving 5 February 2027, alongside the release of their powerful new single ‘Say! (What You Wanna Say)’.

The single also offers a first taste of ‘Pretty Ugly’, BABYRAT's debut five-track EP, arriving 5 February 2027. Exploring the highs, lows and contradictions of early adulthood, the project navigates friendships, relationships and self-discovery, pairing bright, infectious melodies with darker, emotionally charged lyrics. Recorded at Camden Studios in Dublin, the EP promises to capture the energy and contrasting sides of a band whose sound continues to evolve.

BABYRAT's arrival with debut single ‘Roses’ in September 2026 marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the Cork-based band, following a year spent building their reputation through high-energy live performances. The single quickly attracted support across Irish radio, including RTÉ 2FM, Today FM, SPIN, iRadio, BEAT and Red FM, establishing BABYRAT as an exciting new name on the Irish music scene.

Having already built a dedicated following on the live circuit, including performances at Electric Picnic and All Together Now, BABYRAT are now translating that undeniable onstage energy into their recorded music. With ‘Say! (What You Wanna Say)’ and the announcement of ‘Pretty Ugly’, the band are offering their clearest statement of intent yet: bold, energetic guitar music with infectious hooks, emotional honesty and plenty of attitude.

With their debut EP on the horizon, BABYRAT are ready to introduce a whole new audience to their world. And if ‘Say!’ is anything to go by, they're only getting louder.
