Hailing from Oxford, the 2 girl/2 boy Half Rabbits sound like all the strongest bits of intelligent art-rock like Muse, Shellac and iLiKETRAiNS, crossed with the darker, poppier ideas from Smashing Pumpkins, Pixies and Joy Division. Driven by their passion for creating music that comes from the heart, they’ve so far received critical acclaim from people likeRolling Stone and Drowned in Sound.

The band's music and interviews have featured on a variety of national and international TV and radio shows such as MTV, TMF, BBC Radio, BBC TV and BBC 6 online. For The Half Rabbits' back catalogue and compilation features, see their discography.

Live, the band are fierce and commanding. They've gigged with an array of legendary bands, including Editors, We Are Scientists (at their first UK gig, no less), The Enemy, The Young Knives, Tapes n Tapes, The Duke Spirit … you get the idea. They also headline gigs themselves, including four times at the fabled O2 Academy in Oxford.

2009 saw a double A-side single release, featuring Of This City and We’ll Sleep Again. April 2010 ushers in the release of their debut full-length album, From The Horizon To The Map. The album is rooted in twenty-first century urban life: simultaneously uplifting and humbling, communal yet individual.
