This Changes Everything / Louis' Revenge / Attention: This Is Your Conscience Speaking

PUNK ELVIS RECORDS

Imagining Ian Curtis fronting an emo band, The Half Rabbits are an intense four piece outfit who meld gloomy vocals to searing guitar thrusts and stabs.

With the bands latest release, THE FINAL DAYS OF ROME; they create a sound that practically rips its way from your speakers.  First up, THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING is an intense, epic statement of intent from the band; frontman Michael Weatherburn letting loose with a brooding croon whilst the rest of the band violently jerk and thrust their way through a post-hardcore guitar soundscape.  The equally wired and tense sounding LOUIS' REVENGE is another suitably intense and brooding affair that plays with the bands Joy Division meets Fugazi reference points whilst on ATTENTION: THIS IS YOUR CONSCIENCE, the Half Rabbits jerk and stab their way through another impressive sounding three and a half minutes.

Shot through with a conviction that's undeniable, THE LAST DAYS OF ROME is the sound of The Half Rabbits offering up a masterclass in brooding intensity and twitchy post-hardcore guitar histrionics.

BIOGRAPHY

Born of flickering computer monitors and the frustration of having no-one to tell, The Half Rabbits play dark, brooding and emotive rock music.

Gigging has earned The Half Rabbits a reputation as a frenetic yet commanding 4-piece.  Having recently played around the UK with household names such as Editors, We Are Scientists, The Paddingtons, The Duke Spirit, Komakino, The Cribs, Shout Out Louds, Cazals, House Of Love, The Stands, 10,000 Things, The Young Knives, Eastern Lane and Fell City Girl, the band are looking only onwards and upwards.
