Chessboard 02:59
You never changed hero you really painted pawns in a fake chessboard with railings around.. alone In the end you didn’t change your eyes emerge flames fake melodies and words the enemies of love.. you’re alone I see you didn’t change hero looking for the zero horse of your king betrayed by your queen Walking many points are born love your queen and king alone build their kingdom all alone with your silly painted pawns In their black and white world

Abyss 03:36
The force behind my eyes the strength unspecified maybe distant surely present lazy like all the others Fighting the shadows of the unconscious tracing the paths of the ego (It) discerns the vanity like a stony witch that prevents me Not found the language to speak I blame the prism that I have for god Only him and the colours can reach the source With a glance that seeks behind the first level of the face penetrates the orchids of my brain Don’t leave.. you can see! Your eyes vellicate they show me the abyss the force is coming out Don’t leave..you can see your eyes make me scream they show me the abyss the force is coming out Don’t leave, watch me! Don’t leave. Look.. you can see Watch me! Look!

Naughty Cat 04:06
Fabulous and charming walking like a cat imposing and fatal is looking for the trap Suddenly she slips, her perfume gets released, we’ve got to run away! Naughty cat starts hissing… she captures in her nets the evil she wraps it in erotic cloth and it gets lost forever and waves of love start sprawling Fuck off and make love Angry males chasing her they faint by her deep look that throws killing rays with grace and sauciness suddenly she slips, her perfume gets released we have to run away She jumps from tree to tree she jumps from roof to roof she finds the enemies and shoots them in their sleep Suddenly she slips, wanted by the police she’s got to run away GO CAT GO!

Point Zero 04:14
Τα ξημερώματα άνθρωποι πνίγηκαν στο Αιγαίο I’ m talking and no one responds I’ m moving with dry tears I ask for explanations, my tongue does not have voice The words do not have a recipient Waves of desperation lives-hostages attacking her almond-shaped eyes are crying Let me go! Her children screaming.. Mission failed; mission failed Bodies mirrors of a sick society angry souls trying to get free seeking hope among the debris dreams do not visit the anymore Hey let me go. People let me go! Point Zero.. her brain neurons become beasts devouring every obstacle Heart plays drums in the rhythm of qualms Hypocrisy. The eyes now overwhelm me, they undress me. I’ m getting revealed. Καλησπέρα κυρίες και κύριοι. Στις ειδήσεις των οχτώ θα συζητήσουμε στο κανάλι με εκλεκτούς καλεσμένους για το μεγαλύτερο πρόβλημα που απασχολεί τη χώρα μας. Χιλιάδες μετανάστες εισβάλλουν μέσω των συνόρων μας και διαταράσσουν την ήσυχη ζωή μας. Ο πολιτισμός της χώρας μας βρίσκεται σε κίνδυνο. Πρέπει να τον διαφυλάξουμε. Η ανεργία έχει ξεπεράσει κάθε προηγούμενο, η φτώχεια αυξάνεται με ραγδαίους ρυθμούς και πολλοί έλληνες φεύγουν στο εξωτερικό. Θα υψώσουμε σύνορα! Παντού σύνορα! Τεράστια σύνορα από τον βυθό της θάλασσας μέχρι τον ουρανό! Να κλείσουμε τις πόρτες και να μείνουμε μόνοι, ήσυχοι και ασφαλείς. Σ’ ένα κράτος κλειστό!

The Tower 04:11
The tower rewards its servants, secretaries carrying decrees of decrees and you keep asking Where’s the tower? Their frightened idols but my love is mine Where’s the tower? Dead end paths lead me to the tower Am I human? Where do I belong? I’ll find it in the tower Death marge no life.. people staring at me. I go close. They say no word Disgusted they go away. I’m here too! My soul overcomes the impass Where’s the magic of the world? the dreams last so little, nightmares knocking on my door Where’s the gate of freedom? decrees wrap our minds duties close our eyes money drown our life suffocated by our normal life In the tower Come let’s find a reason for me

Lion 03:44
Power beasts Death machines Faceless creeps I run wild in the streets ask for revelation Breaking the chain for the revolution monkeys dancing twisting and shouting I escape from mind games restraining nightmares   I fall into darkness emerge in the sky I see down below streets burning wild I’m twisting the paths of the brain Sirens screaming outside the lane Buzz of dreams mirrors of beast sacrifices for a better life like o hero of an era but I lose this battle again and again I want a social outburst Rising up from people’s dreams Κοινωνική αρρυθμία σε ζητώ με μανία ηττήθηκε τέλος η εξουσία Κοινωνική αρρυθμία

Witches 04:57
Witches don’t cry! witches don’t die Terrify town’s melody the wind whistles your dignity Non daring figures look to the moon we need your broomsticks to find our world Witches tell lies in a world full of cries we need your smile, your magic flight to this town of no desire Witches don’t go we need you by our side we need your laugh, we need your spells to forget our common hell Lesbian satanists throwing stones disturbing the common city’s sleep loving strongly their memories hating their parents who left them alone and now they’ re walking with no control Silence to the narrow streets looking for our lost dreams falling on our own traps looking for our lovely star Come on! Leave the witch alone! Witches…. Bitches

Dance 03:44
Take a seat, take a sip from my heel filled with wine Take a seat on my couch, come and find who is the boss You take a sip from my heel come and listen to my history My suspenders have a gun with white dust and pills of lust Take me to the sky leave your thoughts and fly Let your dizziness to kill your life’s stress Look at me caress my hair, golden dust will spread in the air Take a sleep next to me and you will fly from my balcony Look at the pole between my legs and shut the fuck up with the stress Life is short with pink glitter, sad and mad without success Come dance in my dream Come dance with me Take a seat, take a sip and I will drive you crazy Forget your job your boring boss, come and cry for Bowie’s loss Touch my coat my shiny fur, you will feel my leg to your moon Forget the past and dance with me till my sole will find your key

Shadow 03:31
Like a shadow every thought, to your idol I gasp to give up I’m addicted to your voice, In my mind I try to kill you I become a hawk, I travel to the place of your thought I inhale the waves you’re sending I drop down and I kill you Im free there I don’t get back to the great world of fear Im free there I don’t get back to the great world of greed I dive into your words my shadow away from the world of fear I succumb to your frustration to express my deepest feel Elusive shadow My beautiful and weird shadow satisfy the existence and haunt the hole inside and talk to me and let your traces lead me into the dark and inaccessible paths of pleasure and of being

about

Toxic Rabbits is a post-punk /alternative band based in Athens, Greece. Formed in 2016, they released their debut album in 2019 (City of Dead Lights).

The live feel of their gigs is captured in “Witches” where the recording and mixing of the album allows the performances to feel natural, like a band playing in their rehearsal studio or local venue.

Guitars lead the way with riffs, melodies and some solo-esque playing that really adds colour to the songs. The rhythm section lays down a powerful foundation, propelling the music forward with an irresistible momentum, beautiful basslines and sturdy drumming.
The female vocals of Danae elevate the final result with melodic singing, adding another layer to the overall post punk/rock feel that the band gives to the listener.

One element that sets Toxic Rabbits apart is their lyrics, what the band likes to call "urban poems", with a strong socio political dimension criticising the contemporary way of life.
Premium examples of that are “Point Zero” talking about the refugee crisis in the Aegean and “The Tower” talking about a Kafkaesque bureaucratic state spreading oppression.

The result is a great album firmly rooted in the rock/post punk tradition with contemporary sensibilities.
