 In 2008 JP Anderson released his third album under the Rabbit Junk moniker, and it was easily his most ambitious. The project, titled This Life is Where You Get Fucked, was a three-part concept album that set out to supplement the band’s digital hardcore foundation with a unique subset of influences for each section. Truth be told, though, the album wasn’t as diverse as the description might imply. The first section was easily the most hardcore influenced and the second section had an obvious hip-hop influence, but basically the album was pretty linear. Despite the fact that the ‘concept’ part of the album wasn’t totally realized, This Life is Where You Get Fucked still ended up being another excellent addition to the Rabbit Junk discography – an addition that required a sequel in order to fulfill JP Anderson’s initial vision. Project Nonagon is meant to be that vision-fulfilling sequel, but it’s never obvious that it has any real connection to This Life is Where You Get Fucked. The only element that the two albums share is the use of three distinct sections that retain the same classifications – the difference being that Project Nonagon actually succeeds in creating three entirely different listening experiences. Other than that, Project Nonagon not only diverges from its supposed predecessor, but also from the Rabbit Junk discography in general. Don’t get me wrong, the band’s blend of electronics, metal and hardcore is still firmly intact and JP Anderson’s signature shout is still front-and-center, but after that there are some very noticeable differences and not all of them will initially be welcome. No matter how heavy or dissonant Rabbit Junk became they were always a fun band foremost, but that isn’t the case anymore. The main reason for this change in demeanor seems to be due to the loss of Jeniffer "Sum Grrl" Bernett on backing vocals. Jeniffer was consistently the exultant counterpoint to JP’s aggression, the one most likely to deliver a biting and sarcastic line, and a distinguishing force in a testosterone-driven genre. Throughout three albums, Jeniffer was always the Flavor Flav to JP Anderson’s Chuck D, and she is sorely missed here. The other factor that seems to sap a bit of the ‘fun’ away is that the metal influences dominate the electro, punk and hardcore elements too often. The end result is an album that shares more with The Shizit’s last release than it does with anything that Rabbit Junk has done before. If you’re wondering how that can really be that terrible of a revelation, don’t worry, because it’s not....full text |

| Rabbit Junk entered the world in 2004 with a self recorded, self titled full length. Originally recorded as a demo, the rough production and male/female vocal trade off appealed to fans of Atari Teenage Riot and front man JP Anderson's previous project, The Shizit. Fans demanded the release of the album in CD format, and Anderson obliged, not altering the production and keeping the record true to its original form. Rabbit Junk got the immediate attention of Metal Hammer Magazine who graced the debut with a 9/10. The album sold through its first pressing while only being available from Rabbit Junk's own web store. The success of the release encouraged Anderson to release the next Rabbit Junk album, ReFrame, in the same manner. ...full text |

| Rabbit Junk are an industrial metal band with heavy punk, hip-hop and electro influences (apparently this is called hardclash) hailing from Seattle. They were formed in 2004 after the breakup of front man JP's previous project The Shizit (Myspace) , a brilliant gabber metal band who will be making appearances in these pages in the future. Rabbit Junk takes the raw energy of The Shizit and combines it with more advanced production technique, more melodic elements and a slightly punkier sound (not enough to be bad). With some catchy hooks, serious riffage and awesome sequencing there's something there for everyone! Project Nonagon is an extension of Rabbit Junk's last album, This Life Is Where You Get Fucked. This Life Is Where You Get Fucked is a concept album in three parts: The Struggle, Ghetto Blasphemer and This Death Is Where You Get Life. The idea behind Project Nonagon is to release a 3 track EP to build on the themes of each of these parts. This first part is, obviously, the extension of The Struggle part of This Life......full text |
