I assume a wizard cast a spell on an airbrush painting on the side of a 1977 Econoline van and this band was born.

[DMRaptorJesus]

I'm glad these bards are here to share the songs of their most recent adventures with us.

[alexmckenzie]

I can’t get enough of this video. It’s a time warp to the future past and present. Please come visit us in Humboldt County California 🤘

[zephyrleapold]

You can tell she's a high level warrior by the armor.

[nickcarter]

“Do you even like this band, or do you just like the pretty girl with the long sword singing about dragons?” “BOTH.”

[BankaiPrG]

Most of the time, YouTube recommendations suck. Other times, I find amazing stuff like this.

[taliaj]

Digging the old Italian / Spanish horror movie vibes in the video. Awesome.

[Hemlock]

She's like a 1970's Red Sonja poster by Frazetta in black light come to glorious life!!
Looking forward to (hopefully) making it to NY for the album release show.

[Shane_Bozelie]

I can only describe it as "Early Black Sabbath meets Red Sonja or an average DnD campaign" And I'm here for it

[RPGChaos-ywbj]

This really makes me think of those bonus VHS tapes with peoples demos for their bands you would get at old school media stores.

[mildlymarvelous]

Riley is STUNNING in every video, and she does all of the directing, costuming, and editing too?!?! She has absolutely nailed that late 70s-early 80s look and feel!!! It’s like a movie poster come to life!!!!

[HANKTHEDANKEST]

The world needs more Dirty Dungeon Rock. Like, what sort of music does an unscrupulous wizard stealing magical treasure listen to? Probably Castle Rat.

[Crookedjaw]

Castle Rat may be my spirit animal. I feel like everything they do perfectly captures the aesthetic that I love.

[Brian-tixm]

This band absolutely got their aesthetics right, this seems like it genuinely came from the late 1970s/ early wow. Cool to see as a fan of dungeons and dragons.

[zackarycoward]

Not enough modern bands capture this feel and I am really digging it. Keep up the great work Castle Rat!

[ben]

I just cannot get over the Rat Queen's hair. It is glorious. I feel envy.

[dfpguitar]

Major hair appreciation. We never see the big hair anymore even amongst performers who have a team to maintain it. The Beyonce's and Shakira's of the world dont have hair like this.

[MuskittBoon]

Everything about this band/vibe/concept is absolute gold. Deliver your plague, Rat Queen.

[mvashton]

I always knew Bardbarian was a duel class worthy of exploration. Charisma check, Dexterity check, light armour check, instrument/weapon check

[kurt_the_terrible]

"Who tends the fire, Who keeps the torches lit
Who fills your eyes with smoke, So you can see"

this is one such band
