Coming out of New Jersey, Won’t Say Rabbit arrives as a pop-tinged garage punk outfit driven by pure sonic passion. With guitarist Brian and bassist and keyboardist Tom first forming the band, Won’t Say Rabbit is further enriched by vocalist Beth’s presence, forming a trio that distils the spirit of raw, unfiltered rock music while linking with various drummers over the years.
Drawing inspiration from iconic acts like Cheap Trick, Buzzcocks and Shangri-Las, Won’t Say Rabbit started their musical journey with a clear vision; to infuse their sound with the infectious energy and rebellious attitude that defined the golden era of punk and pop rock. Their search for a female vocalist led them to Beth, whose distinctive voice and magnetism completed the lineup and allowed them to hit the music scene with explosive force.
At the heart of Won’t Say Rabbit’s ethos lies a profound belief in the power of music. Through their recent single, “Just A Prisoner,” the band invites listeners on a sonic exploration of modern existence, serving as a poignant reflection on the struggles of everyday life and offering a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos and uncertainty of the world.
Wrapped up in an uptempo alternative rock sound cut with punk attitude and memorable vocal hooks, “Just A Prisoner” serves up an engaging sound that’s as catchy as it is energising. Launching straight in with the bright strums of guitar chords riding the lively pulse of bass guitar and rolling drum fills, the song takes flight in the verse with Beth’s swaggering vocal leads dropping punchy lines with commanding delivery.
Themed on the idea that despite being told things could be much worse than they are, life could in fact be a lot better. Ultimately hosting an uplifting and optimistic message, the band confronts harsh realities head on and uses their musical output to inspire positive change for anyone who’ll join them on their creative adventure.
Venturing through a gritty rock scene threaded with powerful melodic moments and anthemic belted vocals in the chorus, from start to finish “Just A Prisoner” offers an exhilarating rock ride. Packed full of pounding drums, crunchy guitar tones and sensational vocal performance, the song sees the band channel their influences from yesteryear and filter them through their own modern sonic lens to deliver a familiar sound reinterpreted by an exciting new musical project.
