Black Rabbits
The Black Rabbits formed in Orlando by brothers Jetson & Skyler Black, along with bassist Reah Smith and organist Kim Drakeley. The group is a mix of classic and alternative rock with influences such as The Who, The Pixies, The White Stripes and The Doors. Their 2010 debut EP peaked at #96 on the CMJ Top 200 and the Miami New Times wrote, “There’s a feel good, timeless...to the songs...”. The Black Rabbits garnered attention that led to the Grammy Showcase at the Florida Music Fest, interviews on MTV, features on Fox News , as well as TV placements such as The Kardashians and Bad Girls Club.
Hypno Switch was produced by Stan Lynch of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers fame and Billy Chapin.

"Like a train that chugs along and suddenly threatens to go off the tracks, The Black Rabbits brooding, theatrical garage rock makes for an exciting ride." - OurStage
"This group is distinct in its ability to mix moods, showcased especially in the track “Hypno Switch”, with dark lyrics balanced against a bouncy chorus that is easily hummable." - Boom Boom Chik
