Ratt – Out of the Cellar | The Album That Put Ratt on the Map
Ep. 26 Ratt came roaring out of the Los Angeles metal scene in 1984 with Out of the Cellar—an album that helped define the sound and look of an entire era.
On this episode of Bowlin’ Thru Albums, Harvey, Dino and Sammie dig into Ratt’s breakthrough record, the band’s rise out of the Sunset Strip scene, and the songs that made Out of the Cellar one of the essential albums of ’80s hard rock.
We get into the album’s biggest tracks, including “Round and Round,” “Wanted Man,” “Back for More,” and more, while talking about Stephen Pearcy, Warren DeMartini, Robbin Crosby, Juan Croucier and Bobby Blotzer—and what made this particular lineup work.
But as usual, this isn’t just an album review. We talk about what Ratt sounded like when this music was new, our own memories and opinions of the band, the videos and MTV era surrounding the record, and why Out of the Cellar still deserves a place in a rock and metal vinyl collection more than four decades later.
So grab the record, drop the needle, and come hang out with us as we go back to 1984 and revisit Ratt – Out of the Cellar.

After a long absence, Bowlin' Thru Albums is back!
For Chapter 25, Harvey, Dino, Sammie, and special guest Tipa Grillo sit down to discuss one of the most beloved albums ever recorded—Michael Jackson's Off The Wall.

The Decline of Western Civilization: The Metal Years — The 80s Metal Culture That Defined an Era
Chapter 24 in our series of albums WE believe belong in your collection… and this one goes deeper.
We didn’t just listen to the soundtrack — we went back and watched The Decline of Western Civilization: The Metal Years, and it brought everything back. The late 80’s metal scene, the attitude, the excess… it was all there.
Bands like Lizzy Borden, Faster Pussycat, KISS, Odin, Poison, Aerosmith and more — this was a snapshot of a time when metal wasn’t just music, it was a lifestyle, OUR lifestyle.
We talk about the soundtrack, the movie, and our own experiences living through that era… and why this one still hits today.
If you were there — you’ll feel it.
If you weren’t — this is what it was like.
And why you NEED it.
