intro

Enjoyable latest single from increasingly heavy-sounding British indie rock quartet, the Half Rabbits

Pounding bass, heavy guitars, proper singing. What isn't there to like about the Half Rabbits? This is intelligent rock music at its best. The opening track, 'This Changes Everything', is part trashy guitar, part quieter singing - a well put together song. 'Louis' Revenge' owes a lot to the darker side of British folk music in its vocalisation and military style drum beat. This tale of revenge, however, has heavier guitars than you would expect from folk music. It is both faster and more exciting. 'Attention: This Is Your Conscience Speaking' is the third track on this CD single. It is again excellent, but I just like the other two better. The Half Rabbits seem to have got heavier. They have really found their style since they released 'Tiny Knives for Tiny Minds' and it shines through in this stronger release. I look forward to hearing more from them and to hopefully catching them live.
