About Rabbits
RABBITS is a power trio from Portland, Oregon. The band comprises one drummer (Kevin Garrison) and two guitarist/vocalists (Joshua Hughes and Seth Montfort). RABBITS has been described as sludge, hardcore, punk, and thrash, or amalgamations thereof which may be succinctly characterized as “moonshine metal” for the simple, potent, dirty, and often chaotic concoctions RABBITS brews. RABBITS began playing shows in 2005 and began releasing records (vinyl only) in 2006: the self-released “Sloth vs. Bees” 7-inch and the “Lungs” 12-inch split with Under Mountains on Eolian Records. In 2010 RABBITS released the “Hide” 10-inch, also on Eolian Records. Between 2006 and 2010 Rabbits also released several limited-run cassettes and CDRs of live recordings from shows and radio performances. In 2011 Relapse Records released the first full-length RABBITS album, "Lower Forms", which has been accurately described both as a thing of "cracked-out, violent beauty" and "everything I could possibly hate about a record rolled into one and then served on a piece of shit". RABBITS plays their hometown of Portland often and has played shows with Red Fang, Danava, Yob, Black Elk, Burmese, Kingdom of Magic, and many other heavy bands. They occasionally tour on the west coast, including a tour supporting Liars and the Apes. RABBITS has been compared to Melvins, Karp, Jesus Lizard, Cows, Flipper, Harvey Milk, Brainbombs, Eyehategod, and many other excellent bands but, for better or worse, doesn’t really sound like any of them.
