In anticipation of The Bunny Gang’s sophomore record, Thrive will be released on September 23rd via Hardline Entertainment! The Southern California based label has launched a pre-sale contest which gives purchasers a chance to win a Fender Guitar with hard case, a pair of Lakai skate shoes or a Blatant skate deck! Purchasers will also get an advance track off the album, “Sirens Through The City”, which is available as a FREE DOWNLOAD via Hardline Entertainment’s most recent label Compilation.
The 11-track album was recorded at Sonic Ranch Studios in El Paso, TX with Producer Ryan Hewitt (Sheryl Crow, The Avett Brothers).
The band, which is fronted by Flogging Molly’s Nathen Maexwell, plays music that crosses the lines of rock, punk and reggae.
About The Bunny Gang
Nathen Mawell has the word Revolution tattooed prominently on his left wrist. However, It’s more than just a word for The Bunny Gang frontman and Flogging Molly bassist.
“It’s a sign of what time it is,” he affirms. “Revolution must be peaceful, nonviolent, and conscious. I think it can mean something different to everybody though. There can be a million interpretations, and that’s the wonderful thing about it.”
The Bunny Gang’s sophomore full-length, “Thrive” stands built on creative revolution. Transcending musical boundaries, The Bunny Gang Organically strut between alternative, folk, punk and reggae. Following up 2009’s acclaimed “White Rabbit,” it’s a tight and thought-provoking combination that makes for an irresistible sonic brew.
In order to stir up the eleven songs comprising the album, the gang retreated to Sonic Ranch in El Paso, TX with producer Ryan Hewitt (Sheryl Crow, The Avett Brothers). Tapping into an indescribable chemistry, the entire offering was cut in less than a week.
“The bands name comes from a punk rock crew I grew up with in the South Bay of Los Angeles called The Original Bunny Gang or OBG PUNX. After playing with several great musicians, including my father Maxwell and my first ever bandmate Mike Peralta, in 2012, I met an amazing hearted and like- minded human being in Nat Lort-Nelson. He was the glue. There’s a deep history, and we share a philosophical outlook. We believe art should say something.”
That’s exactly what songs like the first single, “Sirens Through City,” do. Co-written with Scott Abels (Jimmy Cliff, The Aggrolites, Tim Armstrong & numerous other acclaimed artists) the song skates from a soulful riff into a poetic melody, it’s a personal and poignant rumination from the singer. He also encloses a hopeful message inside of the track.
“I wrote that song when I was living in Harbor City, which is a rough town in South Los Angeles,” he recalls. “I was literally sitting on the corner and hearing police sirens every night. At the same time, it’s a song of hope and making it out of the ghetto and thriving. If people could dream bigger and step outside of their bubble, they’d realize the world is a beautiful place.”
Elsewhere on the record, the energetic “Uprise Underground” appeals to revolutionaries everywhere, urging an awakening, while questioning the status quo. The Bunny Gang then floats down the river on “Illegal Market” co-written with Dennis Casey (Flogging Molly). This is an iridescent jam that showcases the bands love of Cumbia as well as a cry for social equality.
Ultimately, anybody who takes this ride with The Bunny Gang will feel that progression. “Life, art, and music are all evolution,” he concludes. It sounds like revolution is just up head for The Bunny Gang.
