Glasgow, United Kingdom (2003 – present)

Frightened Rabbit are an band which formed in 2003 in Glasgow, Scotland. The band currently consists of Scott Hutchison (vocals, guitar), Billy Kennedy (guitar, keyboards), Grant Hutchison (drums, vocals), Andy Monaghan (guitar, keyboards) and Gordon Skene (guitar, keyboards). The band has released three albums: “Sing the Greys” (2006), “The Midnight Organ Fight” (2008) and “The Winter of Mixed Drinks” (2010).

Andy joined the band after the release of Midnight Organ Fight, allowing them to play many songs from the album they would previously have struggled to fill out instrumentally. Gordon joined the band in November 2009 and is a former member of Make Model.

The origins of the band are rooted in 2003, when Scott began playing solo shows under the name Frightened Rabbit, mostly in support of fellow art-schoolers Shitdisco. Recordings were made on a tascam 4-track recorder, with Scott playing all the instruments (some more proficiently than others). Though looser, sparser, and certainly more lo-fi in terms of production values, their early demos still attest to a burgeoning talent with a defined personality and a now familiar penchant for being able to create widely appreciated pop songs.

In 2004 Scott’s brother Grant moved to Glasgow, Scotland, contributing drums to certain recorded tracks, and playing live. Frightened Rabbit became louder and better.

    @cooljessedude yeah mate, each to their own for sure but personally neither of those songs would come particularly close for me. Floating in the Forth, Head Rolls Off, Skip the Youth and Good Arms vs. Bad Arms would probably be next for me.

    @VanThem Id throw Fast Blood and Yes, I Would in that list somewhere! But I can agree with you on Foot Shooter; it is their best song.
