It’s time again for Friday on My Mind , our weekly blog post where we look at videos centered around one common theme. This is a collaborative effort between KEXP and King 5 News. Easter is around the corner, so we are looking at songs about rabbits. So let's talk rabbit facts. A male rabbit is a buck, a female is a doe, and baby rabbits are called kit. A wild doe can give birth up to eight kits a year. As well, female hares are capable of conceiving a second litter of offspring while still pregnant [...]
Frightened Rabbit by Brian Lowe When Pedestrian Verse made its way to KCRW , Jason mentioned that it’s a record that will see a lot of “Best Of” lists by the end of the year. Here we are, halfway into March and still a long way to go, but that sentiment remains true. In their return to Morning Becomes Eclectic, right before embarking on tour, the brothers Hutchinson and the rest of the band from Scotland gave us plenty of reasons why their [...]

First of all - sorry for the lack of posts lately. We're still gathering ourselves after a week in Austin @ SXSW. We did manage to make it into the studio to record our fourth podcast - the SXSW Edition. While the podcast is our shortest in length - we don't think there's any less rambling. Oh boy. You know the drill - Download. Stream. Share. As always - we apologize ahead of time. 1) Mystic - Joshua James 2) Most Of The [...]
Fresh off the release of fourth album Pedestrian Verse last month, Frightened Rabbit has released the first track from its forthcoming EP, Backyard Skulls. It's a slower, ooooh-filled take on "Holy," which you can hear courtesy of The 405 : And for sake of comparison, here's the album version: Thoughts? Which one do you like better? This post Frightened Rabbit, "Holy" (alternate version) first appeared on Given and Taken in Ink .

Jem Goulding Since their first single was released in June 2012, London post-punk foursome Savages have steadily become one of the most-talked about new bands in the UK on the backs of their ferocious live performances, the experience of which they sought to capture on the live I Am Here EP released last Fall. Now, as they come off a series of much-talked about shows at SXSW and prepare to make a similar impression with a couple of shows at Canadian Musicfest, they've announced details of their debut album. Entitled [...]

[And so the last of our five days at South by Southwest came to a close — getting wowed by baby bands, plowed by the crowds and, at the end, sipping a colored drink on a rooftop watching Smashing Pumpkins rage through a free show while Prince and Justin Timberlake played free shows only blocks away. Only in Austin.] @KRBronson on Saturday at SXSW: One of the great puzzles of South by Southwest is sorting [...]

Breaking some of the pre-set rules, seeing legends, and getting down to heavy metal brass tacks on the third day in Austin. The post SXSW 2013 : Friday appeared first on Treble: Music news, reviews, interviews and more .
Photos and words by Debi Del Grande "Scotland keeps me miserable and that's why I like it." Scott Hutchison (lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist and lyricist) expressed to the sold out crowd at The Fonda. Creating songs like Frightened Rabbit would be a little difficult living in sunny Los Angeles. The last time I saw them was at the same venue. Embarrassing as this may sound, the season finale of "Lost" was on. Hutchison remembered this strange circumstance, and thankfully fans weren't sitting home watching t.v. this time around. New songs from the latest Pedestrian Verse [...]
I have a hard time with winter. It seems like a pretty endless hole of darkness and depression, of being exhausted and anxious. Then the days start getting lighter and longer and I wake up one morning feeling hopeful. That is what this mix is about- a bit of being broken and a bit of getting better.
