Rabbit Junk

Rabbit Junk is an American digital hardcore/industrial metal duo made up of JP Anderson, former frontman of the Shizit, and his wife Jennifer "Sum Grrl" Bernert. The band formed in Seattle in 2004 and are currently active in southern California.

After achieving success with their second album Reframe and the release of their fourth album Project Nonagon, Rabbit Junk went on hiatus, but returned in 2014 after positive reception to several promotional singles. They have since released several EPs and three more studio albums, Rabbit Junk Will Die!: Meditations on Mortality (2018), Xenospheres (2020), and Apocalypse for Beginners (2022).

Rabbit Junk started in 2004 after the dissolution of JP Anderson's former band, the Shizit. Anderson asked his wife Jennifer "Sum Grrl" Bernert to provide additional vocals on a demo he was working on, and the duo self-released the demo recordings their debut album Rabbit Junk in 2004. One year later, the band signed to Glitch Mode Recordings and released their second album, REframe, which drew a wider fan base to the band.

A video for the song "In Your Head No One Can Hear You Scream" was produced by the Kandycore Design Company. Guitarists Coleman Thornburg and Dan Gardner, as well as drummer Kent Ames, joined Anderson and Bernert as the duo's touring band in 2006.

After REframe was released, Rabbit Junk contributed the song "Industrial Is Dead" to the Glitch Mode compilation CD Hordes of the Elite. Later, a cover of Atari Teenage Riot's "Start The Riot" appeared on the D-Trash Records Atari Teenage Riot tribute album The Virus Has Been Spread.

In October 2007, the first two Rabbit Junk albums were remastered by Tom Baker (who has worked with Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails and the Bloodhound Gang) when the band signed onto Full Effect Records. Rabbit Junk's third album, This Life Is Where You Get Fucked, was released on April 28, 2008. This Life is divided into three separate three-song suites, exploring different themes and genres within each.

In September 2008, Rabbit Junk released three new songs on their MySpace page for download, titled "Power", "Blood" and "Home", forming the first part of their follow-up to This Life, Project Nonagon – another album divided into three separate parts, all of which act as sequels to the three parts of their previous release. The band released the next three songs in 2009, and the final three were released on the full album in 2010.

After the release of Project Nonagon, Rabbit Junk cut ties with Full Effect Records. Anderson would later state that he felt "isolated" by the label's control over Rabbit Junk's image and interaction with fans, but didn't believe that the label did anything intentionally malicious.
