Teenage producer/write/multi-instrumentalist Rat Boy has revealed his debut single 'Sign On'. Listen to it below.

After leaving school and being fired from his job in Wetherspoons for serving a customer a raw burger, Rat Boy built up a dedicated underground with the release of his self-titled debut EP The Mixtape. The singer (real name Jordan Cardy) then built up live experience supporting Circa Waves on tour and has now become a favourite for the likes of Radio One's Phil Taggart.

He's now unveiled his debut single, 'Sign On', which strongly channels Jamie T with its ramshackle indie melodies and wry, grounded lyrics.

Rat Boy's debut single, 'Sign On', is officially released on 1 June via Hometown Records. He is also just one of the acts booked for this year's Live At Leeds festival.
