Pennsylvania punks Mid Rats come back with “Patient Class,” and it hits fast from the first seconds. No intro, no buildup, just straight into it.
The track runs on sharp guitars and a rhythm that doesn’t let up. It’s tight but not polished, more about energy than precision. Everything feels pushed forward with intent, like the band is trying to get something out rather than just play a song.
Vocally, it sits in that in-between space that gives Mid Rats their identity. Not clean, not fully screamed, but raw enough to carry weight. It takes a moment to click, then it locks in and works.
There’s tension in the track that goes beyond the sound. You can feel the urgency, like it’s coming from frustration rather than performance. The band have always leaned into that, and it shows here without turning into a speech.
