This band is based in Poole and is one of Dorsets best supported Ska Band's, their name RatRace is from the Specials song Ratrace which was one of their hits during the thatcher regime which was a sneering attack on the complacency and political posturing of affluent students.

Ratrace can be seen playing in and around Dorset, Mr Kyps in Poole, the south's top live band venue, will often invite the Ratrace to perform as support for many top Ska Bands, such as The Beat, Selecter, Bads Manners.

They have appeared at many of the county's top events, The annual Steam Rally, Wimbourne Folk Festival, Poole Part in the Park. 

The band's singer Simon, who i know well, reminds me very much of a young Dougie Trenble, ok for you guys who dont know Buster from Bad Manners, who i had the pleasure of going on tour with for 2 weeks.
