The Bunny Gang – “The Reckoning”

“The Reckoning” Background:
The 11-track album, titled Thrive, was recorded at Sonic Ranch Studios in El Paso, TX with Producer Ryan Hewitt (Sheryl Crow, and The Avett Brothers). It is the band’s first full-length release since 2009’s White Rabbit, and introduces newcomer Nat Lorn-Nelson, who now sings and plays lead guitar for The Bunny Gang, alongside front-man and Flogging Molly bassist Nathen Maxwell.

As for the new song “The Reckoning”, Nathen tells The Pier: “The Reckoning is a pro-peace rally cry and a warning to those who seek profit from war!”

The new album, out on Hardline Entertainment, is said to be a personal and poignant cross-over into the genres of punk, rock and reggae. Ultimately, anybody who takes this ride with The Bunny Gang will feel that progression. “Life, art, and music are all evolution,” Nathen says, and it sounds like there’s a new era on the rise for The Bunny Gang.

Nathen Maxwell has the word Revolution tattooed prominently on his left wrist. However, It’s more than just a word for The Bunny Gang frontman and Flogging Molly bassist.

“It’s a sign of what time it is,” he affirms. “Revolution must be peaceful, nonviolent, and conscious. I think it can mean something different to everybody though. There can be a million interpretations, and that’s the wonderful thing about it.”

The Bunny Gang’s sophomore full-length Thrive stands built on creative revolution. The Bunny Gang organically strut between alternative, folk, punk, and reggae. In order to stir up the eleven songs comprising the album, the gang retreated to Sonic Ranch Studios in El Paso, TX with producer Ryan Hewitt [Sheryl Crow, The Avett Brothers]. Tapping into an indescribable chemistry, the entire offering was cut in less than a week.

“The name comes from a punk rock crew I grew up with in the South Bay of Los Angeles called The Original Bunny Gang or OBG PUNX. After playing with several great musicians, including my father Maxwell and my first ever bandmate Mike Peralta, in 2012, I met an amazing hearted and like- minded human being in Nat Lort-Nelson. He was the glue. There’s a deep history, and we share a philosophical outlook. We believe art should say something.”

Ultimately, anybody who takes this ride with The Bunny Gang will feel that progression. “Life, art, and music are all evolution,” he concludes. It sounds like revolution is just up ahead for The Bunny Gang.
