Rat Boy
Jordan Cardy’s school nickname of Rat Boy hardly sounds appealing but stripped down his music is edgy and exciting. His homegrown indie tracks are a reflection of his down-to-earth persona. NME named him as one to watch this year, wisely comparing him to an “early Arctic Monkeys and Jamie T meet”. After winning Best New Artist at NME Awards 2016, Rat Boy’s future seems set but his reception at Dot to Dot could determine his success.
