Portland’s RABBITS (ex ANGEL HAIR, THE VSS, and PLEASURE FOREVER) show that they aren’t afraid to get dirty on their Relapse debut ‘Lower Forms’. The band’s unbelievably raw, low-end rock is a punishing collision of distortion and volume that bristles with punk attitude. ‘Lower Forms’ is a chaotic affair and shows that this power-trio is at the fore-front of the AmRep, dirt-rock revival. 'Bites Rites', the new record on Good To Die Records opens a deep portal into the mind of the superorganism that is RABBITS. And something in that mind is not right. Like many that came before them, with overnight success and worldwide fame came parties, booze, drugs, strippers, and the predictable descent into bitterness, jealousy, paranoia, and eventual madness.
