hey so there's this boston band called bad rabbits who i had always been familiar with as a glossy r&b group who hung out with a lot of emo bands for some reason. as far as i know they've been recording two albums at the same time over the past few years, one of them an unreleased album produced by teddy riley called american dream, and the other a more straightforward rock record called american nightmare, which surprise-dropped last week. i'm guessing there's a good reason they dropped the angrier album first, and it really clarified for me why they've been on warped tour so often. i also really love it but expect that many people will haaaaaate it. ymmv

none of the other songs are on youtube but if you're curious i really recommend "save yourself"

American Nightmare is completely bonkers. Some of it is terrible ("My Song") and it could definitely use a punchier mix but I'm certainly...intrigued

nah "my song" is awesome in that it pretty much employs every dumb emo cliche

huhhhh interesting, I can't say I've heard these genres combined this way. this is def better than what I've heard from them in the past, which seemed kinda pro forma

well the new tracks seem to mark, uh, quite a shift
