Rabies Babies is a punk rock trio based in London, UK. The band started in 1999 and have a 10" record that came out in 2020 on Damaged Goods. They are Laura Saracino on guitar and vocals, Lorna Tiefholz on bass and vocals and Tabi Sutherland on drums and vocals.
They make fast, fun and angry songs about crashing the party and smashing the patriarchy. They are anarchic garage punk born from the DIY squat scenes of the 1980s & 90s New York and London. Their sound is raw and dirty, with a feel of early Black Flag, Kleenex and The Slits.
Even though they've been playing since 1999 they were always more bothered about making bizarre costumes than making records. Rabies Babies were more concerned with having a shout and having fun than getting a record deal, so their 10" mini-album on Damaged Goods is their first release.
It may have taken a long time to arrive, but this debut Rabies Babies release is a fabulous collection of music the band have given us that does more than compliment the gigs they have played during this time.
