Rats, The - 1980 - The Rats LP (US).
pre-DEAD MOON band formed in 1979 by Fred Cole from the 1960s garage rock band The Lollipop Shoppe. Cole played guitar and sang, his wife Toody played bass and sang, and initially Rod Rat played drums. Their sound was a raw mix of punk rock and garage rock with occasional country touches.Mississippi Records is the first to reissue this pre-Dead Moon classic, originally released in 1980 on Whizeagle Records.Pretty much essential for Dead Moon fans, and if you don’t know Dead Moon, then I envy you because some of the worlds greatest Rock'n'Roll is just sitting there waiting for you.

Thanks! This made my month. I've been looking for this for a long time.
Saw Dead Moon by accident with Beat Happening in Portland Oregon sometime in the '90s. Got in for free, had many beers and watched two great bands that night. There is something about Northwest bands that have some strange mystique.

and thanks for all the comments
cheers!
I've never made a request on a blog before, but I've been looking for Fred and Toody's country projects. I don't think they ever released anything as the Range Rats (though you can find it on their myspace), but there are supposed to be some Western Front releases. Do you happen to have them?
Thanks so much!
indeed, the range rats didn't released anything and the Western Front realeased two singles "Orygun / Clementine" and "Stampede / Looking Back At Me" both in 1985
but i'm afraid that i can't help you right now, i only have the clementine and stampede songs
but i'll keep looking for this ep's, and i'll post over here if i found it
Oke thank you for youre reply Felipe
