Dead Rabbits, not to be confused with any other bands sharing a similar moniker, have made their mark on the shoegaze and neo-psychedelia scenes with their hypnotic melodies and reverb-soaked soundscapes. Emerging from the vibrant musical undercurrents of Southampton, UK, the group has been sculpting their distinctive sound since their formation. They took their name from the notorious New York City gang, which reflects in their sometimes edgy, always immersive music that combines noise-infused riffs with ethereal vocals.

Garnering a cult following through their intense live performances and a series of well-received releases, Dead Rabbits have carved out a niche for themselves in the contemporary psych-rock revival. Their music is a call back to the influential waves of '90s shoegaze bands, while also channeling the swirling depth of early psych pioneers. With tracks like "A Different Place" and "Mexico" from their later releases, the band demonstrates a maturation of their sound, exploring broader lyrical themes and sonic textures. The transformative and transportive quality of their work, particularly evident in the titles "Slowdown," "Everything Is a Lie," and "Timeisyouronlyenemy" resonates with listeners seeking solace in the chaos of modernity. "The Ticket That Exploded," which shares its name with a novel by William S. Burroughs, underlines the band's affinity for blending literary influences with their rich aural fabric, making Dead Rabbits a staple for those who like their music to challenge as well as captivate.
