Why aren’t we all smart enough to pay closer attention to Scotland by now? Countless great bands have been coming out of the upper UK for years, yet the majority of attention is focused on London. Of course, every once in a while a Mogwai or a Franz Ferdinand breaks that trend, but too often our backs are turned and we realize too late what we’ve been missing out on for a while. Luckily, there’s Frightened Rabbit, a band leading the way for the new Scottish sound. With 20,000 leagues of lyrical depth and a passion that immediately warrants more than just a cursory listen, Scott Hutchison’s songwriting pulls the heartstrings, while his brother drummer Grant pounds the eardrums.
Frightened Rabbit will be in Chicago this Thursday, November 4th, hitting up the House of Blues on what seems like a never-ending tour in support of The Winter of Mixed Drinks (Fat Cat). Plants and Animals and fellow Scots the Phantom Band are supporting. While on the road, Scott was able to take some time and give a’s to my q’s, offering insight into future FRabbits recordings, sibling rivalry and not holding back on subject matter. Read on and dive into his brain.
