The Hard Rock band Ratt, led by the vocalist Stephen Pearcy, shared a previously unreleased 80s song called “Reach For the Sky”. The song was recorded back in 1984 and the band said in an official statement: “Way cool right there! It took 40 years to get that song heard. Robbin is a happy RATT right now as he was instrumental in the song when writing it in 1982. All hail the “King”, brother Robbin Crosby.

“The band RATT releases a Brand New single!! This song was a previously Unreleased song written in 1982, slated to be on Out of the Cellar but ultimately, never released. Now, appropriately on the 40 year anniversary of the debut “OOTC” album, “Reach for the Sky” 1984-2024.”

As the statement said, the unreleased track is part of the 40th anniversary edition of the album “Out of The Cellar”, which will be released next November 8.

Back in 1984, Ratt had their classic line-up with Stephen Pearcy (Vocals), Robbin Crosby (Guitar), Bobby Blotzer (Drums), Warren DeMartini (Guitar) and Juan Croucier (Bass). It was that formation which recorded their successful debut album “Out of The Cellar”, released in 1984. Since then the band had many line-up changes and nowadays the band is formed by Stephen Pearcy, Juan Croucier , Pete Holmes (Drums), Jordan Ziff (Guitar) and Frankie Lindia (Guitar).

During their career, Ratt released seven studio albums, the most recent one being “Infestation” back in 2010. Between those releases Stephen Pearcy released many solo records and the most recent one is “View to a Thrill” in 2018.
