White Rabbits: Percussion Gun.

White Rabbits are most things that you'd come to expect from a Brooklyn based Indie Rock outfit. With catchy hooks, a fast paced beat and the odd strategically placed scream from lead singer Alexander Evan, their most recent track "Percussion Gun" is one to welcome with open arms. (Or should that be ears?).

Despite their love of Ska music and bands such as The Specials, this influence only rears it's head momentarily during a rather impressive drumming solo from Jamie Levinson. It's no surprise that the sound of drums overbear the track and previous works, due to there actually being two drummers in White Rabbits - that's got to be a good thing, right?

Overall, despite being fairly generic, something sets the White Rabbits apart from other bands. Are they going along the same path as the Arctic Monkeys with their vicious yet catchy beats or are they set to be "just another Indie band". Personally, this is a tune I've not been able to get out of my head for a little while, and I think it will be there, (if not on my Ipod), for a little while longer.
