About Us
"D'Bomb!" - Abraham Lincoln
Revolution Rabbit Deluxe (RRD) evolved into a four-piece band from near Blackwood, in the South Wales valleys. Their brand of melody-driven innovative alternative rock has garnered great reviews, along with regular airplay. They signed to the defunct SWND records in Swansea in 2022.
The first single from The Great Divide.
RRD influences are Beatles and Eels for melody. Pixies and Smashing Pumpkins for rawness, power and drive of the rhythm section. The lyrical twists of Divine Comedy and XTC are prominent. Comparisons to Feeder, early Manic Street Preachers, Super Furry Animals have been made. RRD’s fifth album, Control Freaks, experiments with form and content. Released in October, 2023, the album is more nuanced but retains the hard edge of earlier albums.
RRD live in one house and between recording and gigging, they tour the world looking for crimes to solve. They lost their jobs as archaeologists on Time Team after a drunken lunchtime argument with Tony Robinson led to an unfortunate incident with a toilet, some dynamite, and a livid TV host. To this day, Tony twitches violently when he passes a lavatory.

Our bass player fixes cranes and sometimes bridges in new songs. Never far from his trusty notepad where he makes song notes.
Max
Lead guitar Max, is a dynamic guitarist and drummer, although she sometimes forgets which of the two she is playing.
