BMF SYDNEY RD STREET PARTY: ft MUDRAT (GARDEN)

About

MUDRAT released his highly anticipated debut album SOCIAL COHESION in 2025.The title of the album SOCIAL COHESION is a direct response to proposed anti-protest laws in Victoria, which are being justified under the guise of protecting "social cohesion." This record challenges that narrative, arguing that genuine unity comes not from silence or conformity, but from facing down division and fighting for collective justice.The full MUDRAT band came together to make SOCIAL COHESION, taking the personal anger of earlier work and turning it into a collective, powerful anthem. It’s a testament to how music can be a tool for change and a reminder that listeners have the power to be leaders, not just bystanders. A multi-talented creative visionary, rapper, singer and writer, MUDRAT has gained acclaim for blending of punk, metal & hip-hop influences alongside passionate delivery & raw lyricism. Creating music that draws from his perspective of the world, life experience, cultural roots and political beliefs he has quickly cultivated a reputation for his versatility, raw energy & powerful live performances.In December 2024, MUDRAT released stand-alone single YEAR OF THE RAT, a track that pushes boundaries once again, seamlessly weaving Cypress Hill-inspired boom-bap beats with a nu-metal-infused, head-banging chorus that demands attention. Delivered with a snarling, raw Australian accent, MUDRAT’s vocals cut through the noise, creating a sonic identity that’s unmistakably his own.MUDRAT was included in NME Magazine's 100 Essential Emerging Artists of 2025 Triple J Bars Of Steel caused quite a stir regarding it’s lyrical content.Single You Don't Care About Poor People, the political and class war anthem, caused a stir online, with a post on Tik Tok going viral.
