SF Rockers "RATCHET" Rapidly Climbs UK's Unsigned Chart

Online, March 29, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Ratchet is making some serious noise at home and across the pond as they set their sights on claiming 2012 as their year. The four San Francisco Bay natives that are the driving force behind the Ratchet experience have united alternative, rock and metal with solid lyrics and intense vocals while bringing to the stage a remarkable live performance.

Ratchet recently signed with Rage On Stage Management to support the vision of taking their music to a much broader audience. "These artists have incredible individual talents that they have combined to successfully create music that is not only getting attention but deserves attention.", says President of Rage On Stage Management, Frank James.

There are plenty of people who agree that Ratchet deserves notice and not just those in the band's region. Music fans in the UK have embraced Ratchet's music, encouraging a quick move of their song More through the rankings of UKs Unsigned Top 40 Chart to #16 this week, and has maintained a slot five weeks running. With their skill for hard-hitting music and powerful lyrics, the song More is sure to be just the first of many to gain international attention. Simultaneously, Ratchet swept by almost all of the 750,000 eligible bands in the USA to break into the top 100 on the Reverb Alternative / Rock Chart. It is clear that what these musicians have created is exactly what the industry and fans want to hear.

Meanwhile, Ratchet has returned to the studio for pre-production work on a new upcoming CD to be "Label Sopped", and word has it that the time and effort put forth in producing the 10 tracks will undoubtedly be some of the best material the band has written ... a video will soon follow. In addition to their scheduled tour this summer, Ratchet will also be joining the upcoming Tortured Souls tour during select dates.
