ASTORIA – When Fierce Bad Rabbit formed in 2009, regional media called them a “supergroup.” At that time, the talent of each member of the band was already well established in northern Colorado. But supergroups are said to be engineered by record labels, while the members of Fierce Bad Rabbit were drawn together to create indie pop music with a hook and a heart.

Featuring Chris Anderson (vocals/guitar/piano), Alana Rolfe (viola/vocals), Dayton Hicks (bass) and Adam Pitner (drums/percussion), Fierce Bad Rabbit found regional success soon after coming together. Songwriting followed, and the band soon released a self-titled EP that had airplay before it hit the streets. The group was voted Best Indie Rock by peers in the Fort Collins Musicians Association and Westword nominated the band for Best Indie Pop. They performed at the 2010 South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, received featured airplay on stations throughout the region, and were selected for the inaugural class of SpokesBUZZ Fort Collins, a nonprofit organization that raises awareness of Fort Collins as a music hub.

With the October 2010 release of their first studio LP, “Spools of Thread,” the band is poised to gain broad attention. It’s an infectious brand of indie pop; songs such as “Everything’s Alright” and “All I Have Is You” are radio-ready sing-alongs without the triteness and disposability often found in pop music.
