"Street Rats" is an album produced by the English rock group Humble Pie, which was released in 1975. It was the last album released by the band before they initially disbanded.
Following the departure of Peter Frampton, Humble Pie went through a period of transition. The band had lost their driving creative force and had difficulty filling that gap. Consequently, "Street Rats" emerged during a turbulent time in Humble Pie’s history. Disagreements with their management led to the band members having limited involvement in the production of the album.
The album includes a mix of originals and cover versions of songs, such as "Street Rat," "Rock and Roll Music," and "We Can Work It Out." The genre of the album is a combination of blues-rock and hard rock. Despite the challenging circumstances surrounding its creation, "Street Rats" managed to showcase the powerful vocals of Steve Marriott and the solid musicianship of the band overall.
However, the album was not as successful as some of their previous releases. It was met with mixed reviews and didn't perform as well commercially. Despite its underwhelming response, "Street Rats" still holds a place in the Humble Pie discography and is reflective of the band’s resilience during a tumultuous time.
