In Pedestrian Verse, Scotland’s Frightened Rabbit have created not only one of the best records you’ll hear this year but a strong contender for the best British rock record for quite some time.
Trumping the odds of bands who get picked up mid-career by a major label, they haven’t compromised anything (as our reviewer pointed out, Scott Hutchison’s first words on the record are “I am that dickhead in the kitchen”). We caught up with them last month for a stripped back take on one of Pedestrian Verse‘s strongest tracks, ‘Backyard Skulls’.
Also check out the other song that the guys performed for us – an incredible version of the late-2012 single ‘The Woodpile’.
