Though the past year has seen the Scottish Frightened Rabbit finally stepped into public view, with more extensive touring and some recordings now publicly available, the past few years have largely been about the band quietly honing their sound and cultivating their art.
Frightened Rabbit is now a five-piece comprising Scott Hutchison (vocals/guitar), Billy Kennedy (guitar/keyboard), Grant Hutchison (drums/vocals), Andy Monaghan (guitar/keyboard) and Gordon Skene (formerly of Make Model). 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.
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 demo’s still attest to a burgeoning talent with a defined personality, and a now familiar penchant for being able to nail a near perfect pop song.
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. They burnt 50 copies of their subsequent demo, and sent some out to labels, resulting in three tracks being hosted on the FatCat MP3/demo website, and marking the beginning of a wonderful relationship.

If you like this band, you should check out Twin Atlantic. They've got that same signature sound that comes out of a great Scottish pop punk band. http://go.thesyn.com/twinatlantic/

someone needs to update the biography. "Though the past year has seen the Scottish Frightened Rabbit finally stepped into public view, with more extensive touring and some recordings now publicly available, the past few years have largely been about the band quietly honing their sound and cultivating their art" kinda old now don't you think?
