Pet Rabbits
Bill Patterson
PET RABBITS is a Columbus, Ohio based group featuring former members of the band THE WET DARLINGS. As the primary creative force behind The Wet Darlings, songwriter Bill Patterson found himself writing new material that didn’t quite fit the format of the band’s (well-established) identity, or even the identity of his other writing partner, vocalist Josh Krajcik (X-Factor.) The new songs begged for an understated tone. Rough (yet inspired) demos crept their way towards losing the rough spots and more towards the inspiration and creating a mood. Once he felt the material could rival his previous work, he enlisted his brother and rhythm section of the darlings, bassist Joe Patterson. They instantly found themselves in territory that was familiar but fresh. After releasing two EPs and a full length album as The Wet Darlings, the band saw regular radio attention and well over one million streams on Spotify of their single “Bicycle.” As Pet Rabbits, the solo-project leans into duo territory and prepares to embrace both a new sound and a new direction.
