In 2012, Peppi Marchello released a new Good Rats album, Blue Collar Rats: The Lost Archives on his Uncle Rat Music label. The CD contained one new song plus 19 previously unreleased songs recorded between 1975 and 1984, some featuring the original Good Rats line-up, and others including Kulick, Deale, Gene Marchello and various other musicians. The Original Good Rats continued to play two spring shows (in one night) annually at Manhattan's B.B. King's, as well as a show in the fall at "The Crazy Donkey" in Long Island, until 2013. Peppi Marchello died on July 10, 2013 of a heart attack at his Nissequogue home. He was 68 and was recovering from heart surgery he had in June. Aardwolf Publishing announced the publication of Peppi Marchello: Song Writer on Kickstarter.

In 2016, he released Making Rock and Roll Great Again, an album that contains more of Peppi Marchello's posthumous material, plus some original material by Stefan Marchello. The band now continues with Stefan Marchello. Stefan played with Peppi for 23 years.
