Sure I love me some M&Ms, but after a while, no matter how delicious, the same thing gets boring, so I’ll pick up a Snickers or, if I’m feeling particularly adventurous, maybe even a Butterfinger. Ok, so maybe that wasn’t the best introduction to Boston rock/r&b/misc. crew Bad Rabbits, making their DJBooth debut today with their foot-stomping Can’t Back Down, but you get the point. Sonically producer Jayson Dezuzio works with the band to create an instantly danceable backdrop, while vocally I’m sure I won’t be the only one who will be reminded of some old school Prince (or whatever he’s calling himself now). Personally I was digging the change of pace, but I can’t speak for the rest of the Booth. So how about it? Are the Bad Rabbits something “different” in the exciting sense, or “different” in the “I don’t want to insult you so I’ll just say you’re different” sense? Those feeling this musical change of pace should look out for the Bad Rabbits on tour (including SXSW) and on their latest album Stick Up Kids, available now.

After one full listen I thought the following: Man, that is good - but is it something we could feature inside the Booth???
After a second and third enjoyable listen I said (to myself) "to hell with what "fits" the Booth, we do what we please here." And thus, I am happy to introduce this talented ensemble to our readers. Nathan is spot-on in his Prince comparison. And although I hate comparing one act or artist to another, you can never go wrong with legendary flattery.  DJ Booth on Twitter |

I was ready to trash this track after hearing it for the first few seconds, but the production and energy level displayed here def. won me over. to me, this track sounds like a 80's movie monologue scene. (which wouldn't be necesarily a good thing considering how corny the 80's were-- sorry Z I know those were your glory years for you haha)
But how this track went from being "just ok" for me to me listenning to it for the fourth straight time is what truly makes this track special. |

this is what im talking about djbooth...yeah djkidd is liking this but this can't touch the classics, but this is different...this is still hip hop we need more "different features" unstead of the cliche hip hop that includes just a sample, and a dude with bars...the beat is outrageous...the engineering is adequate to the untrained ear, but its not bad...i wasn't kind of dissapointed by their debut album this can grow own me a lil more but ill give it a heavy rotation...and i want to hear more from them...much more...just not any songs on their album

Definitely one of those "not really my thing, but I definitely respect what they're doing" tracks. And while comparison's can be lazy, the can also just be informative (hopefully my intro was the latter). I'm not saying that they're copying Prince, they definitely have their own sound, but I would be shocked (shocked I tell you) if they weren't heavily influenced by Prince (just like The-Dream). Nothing wrong with carrying on a music legacy like that.

This is a very interesting feature for DJ Booth, but I love it. It has a Passion Pit-like abstract addictiveness.

The Prince comparison is totally spot-on. Prince is a Legend. Let's hope for more impressive submissions from Bad Rabbits.

Bad Rabbits need to stop. Prince called and he said he wanted his vocals back.
