BUNNY AUSTIN

2016 should prove to be a fine year for rock-n-roll, with Bunny Austin's third record due in early spring. Blending a late-70's punk edge with classic sounds from the 60's best heavy hitters, Bunny Austin's infectious sound will make you pour super glue on the repeat button. Based out of Birmingham, Alabama, Bunny Austin is a ferocious live band with a killer twin-guitar attack that often recalls the deft guitar poetry of Luna, as well as the hunkered-down crunch of Neil Young and Crazy Horse, with just a touch of Sonic Youth-y skronk. Get them going and they can kill a few hours easily – peppering their strong originals (sometimes in expanded form) with well-considered covers. Shadow Life, the second and latest album from Bunny Austin, is not only a must for power-poppers, but a wistful survey of the music that gets The Magic City’s blood pumping: It jangles, it struts, it glides… And it’s never afraid to get a little weird. Most importantly, the big teenage heart that lies at the core of these songs is like rocket fuel. Bunny Austin’s ready to fly… And they’re not coming down for nobody. Not even you. Word on the street has it the third release will be their most ambitious. Look out, all you Rock 'n' Rollers!
