Frightened Rabbit fall tour

A few of my friends from back East and I recently stared a mix tape exchange in an attempt to infuse some new musical blood into our systems. To make things a bit more interesting, we are also using themes. The first was " Summer Bummer," and one of the tracks that made my list was Frightened Rabbit's "Swim Until You Can't See Shore," a great track.

I became interested in Frightened Rabbit after digging into some recent offerings from other Scottish artists who have been making a name for themselves in the indie scene lately, namely We Were Promised Jetpacks and The Twilight Sad (both of whom also made my Summer Bummer list, which makes me think that summers in Scotland aren't great?). The more I've listened to them, the more I've come to enjoy their sound.

If you haven't yet made the foray into the great Scottish bands on the scene today such as the ones listed above or the ones you may already know (Franz Ferdinand, Belle and Sebastian, etc) then spend a few minutes watching and listening to the music video for "Swim Until You Can't See Land" and see if that changes your perspective.

If you like what you hear, make sure you catch them on tour in fall at one of the following stops:
