Indie rockers Ratboys drop new song ‘What’s Right?’, announce new album

Rising indie rockers Ratboys are back with ‘What’s Right?’, the bands newest song from their newly announced upcoming new album. ‘Singin’ to an Empty Chair‘ will drop Feb 6th on New West Records. The band will also be hitting the road in early 2026 for a huge headline tour.

“We approached this song like an experiment in the studio, stitching together three different drum performances, in three different-sounding environments, to guide us through some dramatic scene changes within the song,” says Steiner. “We referenced the tight, yet expansive sonics of The War On Drugs and the desert landscapes of Thelma and Louise. The back half of the song came to me in a dream and remains one of the few times that I’ve had the presence of mind to record an idea immediately upon waking. Most of the lyrics and melody came out in that moment, and for that I’m still mystified and extremely grateful.”

Kicking off in February, Ratboys will tour in support of Singin’ to an Empty Chair. A full list of dates can be found below and tickets are selling quickly.
