Kudos to Frightened Rabbit

I only started listening to Frightened Rabbit a few weeks ago, but it has turned into a quick love-affair with this Scottish-based band

Of course, I do not mean a literal love-affair, that's just not the sort of thing you put on the internet but I do mean that I have quickly fallen in love with the music of Frightened Rabbit, one of the most talented bands that I've listened to recently.

My concert ticket is bought and I'm waiting in sheer anticipation for July 22nd to role around when Frightened Rabbit will play at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto. Only 35-days to go!

As I write this post, I'm listening to the three* Frightened Rabbit songs that I have on my iTunes. I know, that seems like an incredibly small number of songs to have and then go on raving about how I love them. But in my defense, it only took one song to make me realize how amazing this band is.

Modern Leper is a beautiful song with great lyrics and an amazing instrumental section to back those lyrics up. The guitar works itself so amazing into each new verse and the drums keep your toe tapping meanwhile the lyrics could make you cry.

Each song is different from the last. I Feel Better and Snake are both amazing and are sure to keep your toes tapping and make you want to hear more. So check out their MySpace (their personal website is under construction) to learn more. You won't be disappointed.

*I feel that I should further explain why there are only three Frightened Rabbit songs on my iTunes. In an effort to stay connected with my best friend this summer, we started a Frightened Rabbit training-schedule. Seeing as she was the one who introduced me to the band and bought the concert tickets, we thought it was only fair that she send me each song through an email, with a further tidbit of information about the band and a full analysis of the song (and of course a full life update). A great way to stay in touch and to learn everything you can about a band.
