The Stagger Rats were formed in the winter of 2008 by Daniel Paylor, Kai Wallace, Callum Easter and Craig McMullen. They had a notion of distancing themselves from the established indie sound. After recruiting Shetlander Jack Sandison on bass and crafting some fine new songs, they got to work on getting tight and are now out and about giggin in Edinburgh, Glasgow and anywhere else their crimson fun machine "Josephine" can ride on.
