Year of the Rabbit is a rock band assembled and fronted by Ken Andrews, formerly of Failure and ON.
Whereas ON's material had been created mostly by Andrews as a solo project, the harder-rocking sound of Year of the Rabbit was much closer to that of his previous band, Failure.
Their first release, the 2003 EP Hunted, was made available only from CD Baby, the iTunes Store, and the band themselves.
Unfortunately for the band, however, Elektra's parent company, Warner Music Group, was sold in February 2004 to a group of private investors, who decided to fold Elektra into Atlantic Records, and many of the labels' underperforming acts, including Year of the Rabbit, were dropped from their rosters.
Two months later, Andrews declared on his official website that due to the shakeup at their label, the band had been put on indefinite hiatus.
