When ‘My Ceramic Rabbit’ first broke onto the local scene in 2007 they were a young, cheeky pop band playing racy pop-punk tunes. But time has turned them into one of the most intriguing and creative of bands. Offering a retro throwback to the mod scene, and the sophisticated acrimonious charm of The Smiths, with quiffs aloof, My Ceramic Rabbit are making music like no other band in South Wales.
“We’ve evolved musically in the time we’ve been together. It’s been a natural course, nothing planned or contrived. We just grew with the music.”
Originally three, the cheeky four piece from Llwynypia, Rhondda are a refreshing change, reminiscent of bands like The Smiths and The Cure. ‘Cool Sleek Chic’ is a cool, slick pop song with slow emotive verse and evocative chorus, where the distinct sound on the cymbals within some great drumming, sophisticatedly clash against the bounce of the bass and harmonic sounding guitar and synth. ‘Dangerous Look for Boys’is a harder hitting affair, with the bands unique sound ramped up to the top gear.
The introduction of synth to the band has helped to add much flair to the neat musicianship., offering the great dynamics that make My Ceramic Rabbit a special band.
“It’s made everything feel bigger and has changed the dynamics, but it’s been an easy transition for us because we’ve got good chemistry and camaraderie, and have similar musical tastes.”
The new album ‘Sex a Word’ is more sophisticated from what’s gone before.
“Every time we go in the studio we come out with something we feel is better than what we did before. We really enjoy playing new songs so we write a lot, and tend to move on from songs quite quickly.”
The album is produced by ex-The Damned guitarist Roman Jugg and the album is a product of great chemistry and creativity between band and producer.
