[edit] History
Rabbit Junk started in 2004 after the dissolvation of JP's first band The Shizit. after adding additional vocalist Jeniffer "Sum Grrl" Bernett to the band, the then two man project released their self-titled debut album Rabbit Junk in 2004. One year later the band signed to Glitch Mode Recordings and released the follow up to his debut album REframe, which gained the band a stronger and more broad fan base [2] showcasing even heavier sound and influences from different styles such as Black Metal and Japanese Punk-Techno-Metal band The Mad Capsule Markets. A video for the song "In your head no one can hear you scream" was produced by Kandycore Design Company Kandy Core. The one man project would later become a Live band, as JP added live guitarists and percussion to live shows.
During sometime after REframe, Rabbit Junk contributed the song "Industrial IS Dead" to the Glitch Mode conmpliation CD Hordes of the Elite, And then later a cover of Atari Teenage Riot's "Start The Riot" appeared on the D-Trash Records Atari Teenage Riot tribute album, "The Virus Has Been Spread".
[edit] 2007 and onwards
In October 2007 the first two Rabbit Junk albums were remastered by Tom Bake (who has worked with Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, and The Bloodhound Gang) when the band signed onto the Full Effect Record Label. The band released a follow up to REframe entitled This Life is Where you get F*cked on April 28th, 2008. The album is a concept album which consists around three 'suites' all sounding different and having their own themes and drawing from specific influence for each facet. "Ghetto Blasphemer", "This Life is Where you get Death" and "The Struggle" are the three separate pieces collaboratively fused to form This Life is Where you get F*cked into an entire presentation.[1]
