Not so classic Christmas song - It's Christmas So We'll Stop by Frightened Rabbit

You're the shit and I'm knee deep in it

Can't recommend this track anymore,  I am loving it right now. Listen all the way through.....it's worth it.

Frightened Rabbits- Music Review

   A few posts below I spoke about We Were Promised Jetpacks and compared them to Frightened Rabbit. A reader commented on this post saying they had never heard of either of the bands, so I thought I would do a music review on Frightened Rabbits. They are sure to make it big soon, I can't recommended them enough.


   Frightened Rabbit is also a Scottish indie-rock band. Their music has a slight folk-y edge and their sound is very easy on the ears. The band formed in 2003, and their line-up consists of Scott Hutchison (lead vocals, rhythm guitar and lyrics),Billy Kennedy (guitar and bass) , Andy Monaghan (guitar), Grant Hutchison (drums) and Gordon Skene (guitar and keyboard).

   Like We Were Promised Jetpacks they are on Fat Cat Records (steadily becoming my favorite label)  . They have released three albums: 

Sing the Greys
The Midnight Organ Fight 
The Winter of Mixed Drinks

   Their second album received wide critical acclaim (give it a listen and you will see why), their third one is sure to follow suit. The Winter of Mixed Drinks was released on the 1st of March, 2010. My advice, if you like the clip below...pop to the shops and buy it.

(This is from their newest album which is in HMV now.)

We Were Promised Jetpacks- Music Review

Indie rock band haling from Edinburgh- We Were Promised Jetpacks is what you need to be listening to. THe band is comprised of Adam Thompson (vocals, guitar), Michael Palmer (guitar), Sean Smith (bass) and Darren Lackie (drums). Their debut album These Four Walls was relased on the15 June 2009 on Fat Cat Records.
  They have a really good sound and cite label mates Frightened Rabbit and The Twilight Sad as influences, alongside Biffy Clyro's early material. 

With influences like that...what's not to love? One of my good friends introduced me to them a while ago, along with laughing at their unusual name I really enjoyed their music...and still do! This is their first single, I am hoping they are just about to take off, and why wouldn't they with a sound like this, it is totally comparable to the aforementioned bands. Love it and fully recommend you give them a listen.
