Listen Before You Buy

Starting off with a simple folk-y guitar melody, the single from Scotland’s Admiral Fallow then breaks into a shuffling drumbeat, with rousing male-female vocals, jazz flourishes from clarinet and double bass, and a chorus that inspires you to sing along. I’m a fan of musicians with Scottish accents (see also: Biffy Clyro, Malcolm Middleton, Frightened [...]

If you’re unaware of what Music Monday is, it’s a Twitter recommendation system where users of Twitter share their favourite music, artists, genres, etc in order to not only find new music themselves but help others find new music too.  Using the hashtag (#) followed by “MusicMonday” you can easily find new music posted by [...]

Frightened Rabbit made their first live appearance on U.S. late night TV this morning playing a rousing rendition of “Nothing Like You” on Jimmy Fallon. They’ve been touring the U.S. for the last month or so in promotion of their latest (stunning) album “The Winter Of Mixed Drinks”.  I reviewed it back in March and [...]

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED BUT THE CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED AND A WINNER HAS BEEN PICKED. Record Store Day was Saturday just past (April 17th) and not everyone could make it to a record store to take part, not only that but a lot of people don’t even have a record store to visit, [...]

A few days ago I asked for some recommendations for my #MusicMonday playlist and peenko was happy to oblige me with three artists, two of which I had put off checking out as I was busy putting off checking out other bands. This is the first he recommended, Little Yellow Ukuleles, an Alt-Rock ensemble from [...]

Fitting somewhere in between Frightened Rabbit and The Twilight Sad, We Were Promised Jetpacks have gained a lot of praise and respect in the last couple of years.  Having been discovered after Fat Cat Records were checking out some of the friends of Frightened Rabbit on MySpace, they’ve since gone on to support Frightened Rabbit, [...]

Frightened Rabbit played live for Lauren Lavern on BB6 Music today.  They played rousing acoustic versions of “Living In Colour” and “Nothing Like You”, both from just-released album “The Winter Of Mixed Drinks”. Check them out below: [display_podcast] (via Peenko)

I finally got my hands on a copy of “Sing The Greys” by Frightened Rabbit. The thing about this copy is that it’s one of the original 1,000 limited pressings of their debut album, and it’s still sealed! The front cover is exactly the same as the re-issue from 2007, but the back has the [...]

Trying to top an album as astounding as “The Midnight Organ Fight” (TMOF) is a tall order for any band, let alone the band who crafted it out of a broken heart and loneliness.  Some things have changed for Frightened Rabbit since TMOF, and some things have not.  Some that have include a new optimism and [...]

As the Frightened Rabbit extravaganza week continues I posted a review of The Midnight Organ Fight yesterday, Frightened Rabbit’s second and absolutely stunning album.  Today I’m sharing videos and songs from some of the songs on that album. The first single from TMOF was “Head Rolls Off”, one of the many standout tracks on the [...]

Album number two.  Many artists have flushed their entire career down the shitter with album number two. Many artists have found a new lease of life, many reinvent themselves, many drop off the radar and many are put on the radar.  With Frightened Rabbit’s album number two “The Midnight Organ Fight”, they firmly put themselves [...]

Yesterday I posted a review of Frightened Rabbit’s debut album “Sing The Greys” with a stream for you to listen to it for free. Today I’m going to show some videos of songs from “Sing The Greys”. They only released one single from that album, a double A-side of “Be Less Rude” and “The Greys”. [...]

Initially released in the summer of 2006 on their own record label (Hit The Fan Records), Sing The Greys was given a limited run of 1,000 copies by Frightened Rabbit.  Those first thousand were enough to put them on the radar of many a journalist, magazine, newspaper, blog, and year-end “best of” lists. Hailing from [...]

In anticipation for the release (March 1st in the UK, March 9th the rest of the world) of “The Winter Of Mixed Drinks”, the third album by one of Scotland’s finest bands Frightened Rabbit, I’ll have a week’s worth of goodness (including reviews, videos, interviews and full album streams) leading up to the release day, [...]
