I'm always looking out for new bands and singers to listen to that are different from the mainstream music that is often played on the radio. As I was researching amongst friends, festival line-ups and gigs at local venues, I came across this band called Frightened Rabbit. And the truth is, I could listen to them all day!
This indie-rock boy band have been together since 2003 and formed in Selkirk but moved to Glasgow in 2004 and have been based there ever since. They have played many gigs around the country ever since. Unfortunately the lads aren't playing any gigs in Glasgow in the coming month, and the closest venue they will be playing at is in Gourock. Anyone fancy a day trip?
You can buy tickets here.
The first song that I listened to was called 'My Backward Walk' from their second album 'The Midnight Organ Fight'. I really enjoyed listening to this song and felt like it was a song that Biffy Clyro would potentially sing. The lead singer, Scott Hutchison, has a thick Scottish accent which I thinks adds something different to their music.
The next song which I particularly enjoyed from them was a cover of N-Trance's 1995 hit 'Set You Free'. I could listen to this song on repeat for weeks on end! It is definitely my favourite 'rock' cover of this song. In some parts of this song, I think that Hutchison's voice and the lead singer from the English band Mumford and Sons sound very similar. If the band ever has the chance to go on BBC Radio 1 Fearne Cotton's Live Lounge show then they should play this song!
If you love the Frightened Rabbit just as much as me then you can follow them on twitter by clicking here and you can also keep up to date on all the band's latest news on their website.
Enjoy your listening!
