Rabbit Junk

Forged in Seattle in 2004, Rabbit Junk—JP and "Sum Grrl"—defies genre, blending diverse underground influences into a signature sound.

Their self-titled debut, a demo, earned underground acclaim and a 9/10 Metal Hammer review. REframe (2006) solidified their innovative sampling and fusion, expanding their fanbase. This Life Is Where You Get Fucked (2008) and Project Nonagon (2010) showcased conceptual depth. The 2010s saw a shift to EPs, maintaining consistent evolution.

Their 2018 LP, Rabbit Junk Will Die: Meditations on Mortality, was hailed as their most experimental work. Recently, Apocalypse for Beginners (2022) hit #1 on Bandcamp's metal chart and #2 overall, a significant achievement for a 100% independent band.

Their influences span industrial, punk, metal, hip-hop, classic rock, film scores, and game music. Rabbit Junk's unique contribution is an unyielding dedication to organized chaos, meticulously fusing genres into a cohesive, powerful sound.
