Castle Rat

Castle Rat plays a heavy, riff driven style that pulls from doom, sludge, and stoner metal, built around frontwoman Riley Pinkerton's theatrical stage presence and the band's fantasy inflected imagery. With over 100,000 followers on Spotify, they've built a real following in the heavier corners of rock without much radio help, just steady touring and a strong visual identity.

They have a Colorado date coming up at the Ogden Theatre, a good chance to catch a band building momentum the old fashioned way.
