RABBITS is a power trio from Portland, Oregon. The band comprises one drummer (KG) and two guitarists/vocalists (Sethro and Booze). Debauchery-fueled ruckus, intoxicating hangover nightmares, scathing audio beatings you can’t help but ask for repeat doses of, RABBITS does something brutally infectious with every pulsating moment of their seemingly haphazard but ultimately succinctly executed delivery. Formed in 2003 by three musicians with prior time spent in Angel Hair, The VSS, Hutch and assorted West Coast acts, the contorted tones of RABBITS immediately drew comparisons to Melvins, Karp, Jesus Lizard, Cows, Flipper, Butthole Surfers, Volcano Suns, Harvey Milk and others. Like auditory sandpaper, their grating noise-soaked sludge/rock grooves harshly wears down the listener with a demoralizing and punishing rhythmic attack, with all levels jacked to the max. RABBITS began playing shows in 2005 and began releasing records in 2006: the self-released “Sloth vs. Bees” 7-inch and the “Lungs” 12-inch split with Under Mountains on Eolian Records. In 2010 RABBITS released the “Hide” 10-inch, also on Eolian. Between 2006 and 2010 Rabbits also released several limited-run cassettes and CDRs of live recordings from shows and radio performances. In 2011 Relapse Records released the first full-length RABBITS album, "Lower Forms", which has been accurately described as a thing of "cracked-out, violent beauty" (Portland Mercury), "totally absurd... in the best possible way" (A.V.
