(The Syndicate) In a world where creativity finds a home in countless forms, there exists a realm where art becomes the very heartbeat of existence. For Dead Rabbitts, this realm is not just a destination but a journey, fueled by the relentless passion and unwavering dedication of esteemed vocalist Craig Mabbitt. To kick off this next chapter for Dead Rabbitts, the metalcore group released “Mistake” featuring the talented Lauren Babic.
On the debut single, featuring musician and YouTuber Lauren Babic, vocalist Craig Mabbitt delves into themes of self-reflection. He shares, “‘Mistake’ poses an existential question: Is what I’ve been putting my heart and soul into worth it? Or is it worthless? Do I belong here? Or was it just a big mistake?”
Coinciding with the announcement of the EP and debut single, Dead Rabbitts have released an official music video for “Mistake.” Directed by Jacob Reynolds, the performance video showcases the band’s energy and brings this debut song to visual life.
REDEFINED will be available through Judge & Jury Records, a powerhouse record label and production company founded by multi-platinum producer Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Seether, Skillet, Of Mice & Men) and Three Days Grace’s Neil Sanderson. The instrumentation was meticulously crafted at West Valley Recording Studios, Benson’s studio in Woodland Hills, and designed by Mike Plotnikoff. Reuniting with Benson and Plotnikoff for the first time in several years, Mabbitt adopted the metalcore sound that clearly distinguishes this project from his other recent works.
From its inception, Dead Rabbitts aimed to have a distinctive visual identity, with “something of a masked artistic look,” Mabbit explains. However, this vision never materialized until a dedicated fan gifted Mabbitt a leather Rabbit mask at one of his shows. This unexpected gesture sparked inspiration and led Craig to incorporate the mask into the band’s unique aesthetic. The mask made its debut in the band’s video shoot for “Mistake”, adding an intriguing visual element to their identity.
Dead Rabbitts will be hitting the road later this summer for some dates with Scary Kids Scaring Kids. Before that, Craig Mabbitt and Erik Jensen will be across the pond with Escape The Fate, including stops in Switzerland, the UK, Austria, Germany, Belgium and more.
Dead Rabbitts consists of Craig Mabbitt (vocals), Colton Westerman (bass), Erik “Shredz” Jensen (guitar), and Blake Bailey (drums).
