</b>and <b><i>MTV Buzzworthy</i>, </b><b>Bad Rabbits</b> have been making a name for themselves as one of the most compelling and eclectic groups to emerge on the music scene. Their sound is sexy, smooth and soulful, fusing together classic ’90’s R&B, post-rock,
funk, punk and metal influences to create a futuristic new jack swing. Frontman <b>
Dua</b> has a chill-inducing falsetto and textured vocals that claim the space somewhere between Sly Stone and Prince, adding an otherworldly shine to Bad Rabbits that is unmatched.<o:p></o:p></p>
