TOP FIVES: Pilerats.com

21 June 2012 | 9:00 am | Staff Writer

Pilerats are rad dudes who we love with a pretty solid music taste to match. We simply had to ask them to collate some Top Fives for you.

PILERATS.COM is a representation of youth culture documented through the eyes of young creatives. Think everything awesome to do with photography, videography, surf, skate, music and arts.

The group behind Pilerats have recently made a kickarse website, where they will be collating the best of everything in their quest for world dominance. On top of this, they're also rad dudes who we love with a pretty solid music taste to match - and it's the latter that drove us to ask them to collate some Top Fives for you.

Top 5 Places You've Woken Up After A Big Night

Mattress in the middle of nowhere during verge side collection after the Skrillex gig in Perth

On top of a warehouse in the city – when we lived in a warehouse called the Pile one of us ended up on the top because we couldn’t get in, turns out it wasn’t even our warehouse or on the same street

In a closet of the pentahouse at Hard Rock hotel in San Diego after an after party. Everyone had left and the room was empty and somehow I woke up with a canister of medical Marijuana and a GPS that we didn’t have/ needed for our road trip.

Not sure if this counts but we were on a party bus heading to parklife one year when a large-ish speaker fell on Frasers head. He woke up 2hours later on the Bus which was driving him home, not to Parklife.
