Sounds Like
"Expect great things" Rolling Stone
"Impossible-to-ignore volume and insistence of someone hammering a point home and a dark, foreboding compulsiveness" Drowned In Sound
"[The Half Rabbits' music] would make a good film score to accompany a scene of being chased through a dark forest pursued by a pack of wolves. Gothic is too tame a word for this outfit" BBC
"Every moment of every song is played as if it is their last and there is no room for slack or wasted space - the sound of four minds exploding with ideas" Tasty Fanzine
"It is thanks to bands like The Half Rabbits that we are not complaining about the deluge of lightweight sub-indie bands and singer-songwriters who have begun to flood the charts, and they deserve the recognition which they have received" Glasswerk
"This is music that will change your life, you will love it" Subba Cultcha [Awarded EP of the month]
Hailing from Oxford, the 2 girl/2 boy Half Rabbits sound like all the strongest bits of intelligent art-rock like Muse, Shellac and iLiKETRAiNS, crossed with the darker, poppier ideas from Smashing Pumpkins, Pixies and Joy Division. Driven by their passion for creating music that comes from the heart, they’ve so far received critical acclaim from people like Rolling Stone and Drowned in Sound.
The band’s music and interviews have featured on a variety of national and international TV and radio shows such as MTV, TMF, BBC Radio, BBC TV and BBC 6 online. For The Half Rabbits’ back catalogue and compilation features, see their discography.
Live, the band are fierce and commanding. They’ve gigged with an array of legendary bands, including Editors, We Are Scientists (at their first UK gig, no less), The Enemy, The Young Knives, Tapes n Tapes, The Duke Spirit … you get the idea. They also headline gigs themselves, including four times at the fabled O2 Academy in Oxford.
2009 saw a double A-side single release, featuring Of This City and We’ll Sleep Again. 2010 will usher in the release of their debut full-length album, From The Horizon To The Map. The album is rooted in twenty-first century urban life: simultaneously uplifting and humbling, communal yet individual.

Sigo muy preocupada con este tema, y ya han pasado meses...
No comprendo que pretende, ni cuales son sus verdaderas motivaciones, la verdad, cada dia entiendo menos todo esto, pero aunque no me llame y no sepa nada de él... siempre apoyaré a mi hijo incluso en una locura como esta.
Muchas gracias por estar ahí.
Arriba te dejo una img de mi hijo x si no sabes quien es.
