RATT Vocalist STEPHEN PEARCY Fully Recovered From Surgery

July 20, 2010

After a very successful spring tour, California hard rockers RATT are excited to continue their "World Infestation" with Germany's SCORPIONS.

RATT was recently forced to cancel its European tour in order to allow vocalist Stephen Pearcy to undergo urgent hernia surgery. However, the RATT family is happy to report that Pearcy has made a full recovery and is eager to get back on the road.

"Despite the forced break with my surgery, I'm feeling better and being out here on tour with the SCORPIONS is rehabilitating, to say the least," Pearcy said. "We're doing different songs from 'Infestation' and they are going over great! We're mixing up our set and kicking some ass. It's a Scorpion sting with some Ratt 'n' Roll!"

"Infestation", the first studio record in 11 years from RATT, sold around 14,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 30 on the Billboard 200 chart. The CD was released on April 20 via Loud & Proud.

"Infestation" was produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette (CHEVELLE, ALTER BRIDGE) at his Virginia studio, marking the first time the band has recorded outside of Los Angeles. The album is full of attitude and of reflection, cycling through a range of emotions. There are party anthems that RATT are known for alongside more contemplative, thoughtful tunes.
