For a decade, Ratboys have been carving their name into the fabric of Chicago's underground music scene. In 2023, however, with the release of the band's new album, "The Window", the world at large began to pay attention to a band that at one point was Chicago's best kept secret. Frontwoman Julia Steiner joined Case for a conversation about the reemergence of the Chicago music scene, how much you make when your song is used in a Walmart commercial, and of course, the Bears quarterback situation.
