"...startling versatility...with a crack band and a nimble vocalist they're certainly headed in the right direction..." [7.5]...- Pitchfork

"Bad Rabbits have carved out a niche thanks to their unique musical fusion: a contemporary latticework of sound ranging from tireless rock ballads to funk sodden tracks reminiscent of the likes of Prince." - Interview

"...a vibrant, horn-blasting, dirty bass funk-popping blast of throwback R&B charm..." - MTV Buzzworthy

"...Armed to the teeth with an infectious, boundless energy, their live shows have been making impressions from Beantown down to the Caribbean..." - Vice's Noisey.com

Bad Rabbits made a splash in 2013 with their critically acclaimed debut album American Love and sold-out shows across the country. The band is now back in full swing as they gear up for Parahoy! (Paramore Cruise) March 7-11, SXSW March 16th, a special performance at the Warped Tour Kick-Off Party at Club Nokia at LA Live April 1st, UK dates this May, the 7th Annual Roots Picnic on May 31st and the upcoming Warped Tour.

Bad Rabbits' anticipated sophomore album, produced and co-written by the Grammy-Award winning James Fauntleroy (Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Rihanna, Timbaland), is set for a Summer 2014 release. The band has found a home with brand new label Not For Hire,  created by Fauntleroy, Grenco Science CEO and founder of the industry leading personal vaporizer G Pen Chris Folkerts, and Rama Mayo, creative producer at StreetVirus, an LA-based marketing company that boasts such clients as Beats by Dre, Interscope, British Knights, Disney and more. During his time heading up Boston label Big Wheel Recreation, Mayo release early records from Jimmy Eats World, The Hives and At The Drive-In.

Additionally, Bad Rabbits have signed with powerhouse agent Cara Lewis at CAA (Kanye West, the Roots, Eminem, Rihanna) and will be managed by veteran music executive Kevin Morrow of Steel Wool Entertainment.

In 2013 Bad Rabbits hit the #1 spot on the iTunes R&B Chart and the Top 10 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart with the release of their debut album American Love.
