"Gunbunny is a pleasant surprise. For a band so young (as a group) to have found their voice so quickly you start to think there's something special going on. Gunbunny covers enough musical ground here to avoid a distinct pigeonhole, but there's a definite punk work ethic and energy in this band, and there's a highly refined pop music sensibility that runs through their songwriting. It's a recipe for success that many bands dream of."

"Gunbunny is that breath of fresh air that everyone has been gasping for. This Seattle-based quartet proves that having a minimalist style doesn’t have to sound generic or boring. In fact, its debut E.P. The White City presents colorful and emotive songs that are reflective of its malleable sound. Using a wide range of styles, the band molds its clean guitar sound into five separate tracks, each of which offers a distinct experience. The White City gives an eloquent approach to some beautifully composed music."

Bio
Four egos gone bad. Tuesday mornings in Saturday's clothes. Solace for the self-loathing. Daydream opportunists. A four piece collaboration of youth and energy compiled from the far reaches of Oregon, the depths of Idaho and the backyard of Washington's Olympic Peninsula. This is Gunbunny. An unconventional collage of melodically infused guitar, rich harmonies solidly grounded in lyrical honesty and smooth, flowing rhythms. Composed of the most basic components, Gunbunny forges a unique self-effacing brand of outsider indie, pop, and alt-country infused music – one that depends as much on whimsical folly as it does on precise skill and dedication. With the self-release of their debut EP "The White City" (October 2008), the young band has garnered wide praise from fans and critics alike.
Press
"Relying on the classic four-piece set-up, familiar song structures, and simple production, you might think you can come into Gunbunny's debut EP The White City having heard it all before. But it's this same bare simplicity that brings attention to the band's adventurous songwriting: twisting bass lines, smart-alecky rhythms, unhinged vocals, and some wonderfully warped understanding of how to put it all together.
The White City drives with the rambunctious attitude and twitchy, traveling rhythms you'd expect from, say, Wolf Parade, but colored with its own occasional twang. Every song on this album pulls complicated writing from a stripped sound in a way that's unsettled, unsensible, and yet completely, rightfully convincing. With cases for contradiction that not only boast the rogue young Seattle band's range but prove their confident, artful approach, the short EP is no doubt a promising beginning for a band that's sure to scheme up something more."

"2 guitars, bass, drums, lyrics that speak the truth, loose harmonies. Everything a band SHOULD be. Guaranteed to give you happy (bunny) ears.
