This came out of nowhere. Frightened Rabbit’s Scott Hutchison teamed up with fellow FR bandmate Andy Monaghan and friend Simon Liddell to create Owl John. Our first listen comes in the form of a song called “Hate Music” which is a darkly marching intense and brooding tune. Frightened Rabbit has had this kind of passion… Continue reading New Frightened Rabbit side project: Owl John

[Hype Hype Hooray] How Frightened Rabbit Could Turn Into Smash Mouth
Every [two weeks?] Jamie Hale takes a long, hard look at the music industry and the blog scene that feeds it. Here, he releases those findings and makes snarky, sarcastic remarks. Admittedly, both Jamie and Knox Road are a part of this scene. So sue us. I used to LOVE Smash Mouth. I will still… Continue reading [Hype Hype Hooray] How Frightened Rabbit Could Turn Into Smash Mouth
Frightened Rabbit is mature and refined on The Winter of Mixed Drinks
On 2008’s The Midnight Organ Fight, Frightened Rabbit was brash and blunt. Frontman Scott Hutchison Scottish-ed forth his lyrics (there’s no other way to say it, really), which themselves weren’t particularly rays of sunshine. And, above all else, the music never got too out of control. You had your guitars, keyboards, drums, and vocals, and… Continue reading Frightened Rabbit is mature and refined on The Winter of Mixed Drinks

There Will be Fireworks is intense, epic, Scottish
When I first heard of There Will Be Fireworks, they were described to me as “The Twilight Sad meets Explosions in the Sky.” Now that sounds ridiculous, so naturally I was all “yeah right, stupid” and the guy was like “give it a try, you’ll like it” and I was like “stop pressuring me, dick!”… Continue reading There Will be Fireworks is intense, epic, Scottish

They were, by far, the act I was most looking forward to, as I have been utterly obsessed with the The Midnight Organ Fight, and to a lesser extent, Sing The Greys. I also was well aware of the fact… Continue reading Frightened Rabbit @ Siren
