"Skin The Rabbit" is what Chad's dad used to say to his brothers, sister and him when they were kiddos. They'd all put their hands in the air so he could peel off their shirts before bath time. Now Skin the Rabbit takes a different aim in exposing the heart of corrupt leadership- both political and corporate- where power and greed have overwhelmed the voice of the people. Carrying the theme of the abuse of power, there are references to the Dakota Access Pipeline, gun violence, the opioid epidemic, and the killing of buffalo in the late 19th century. The photo on the cover was taken this past December when Brad and photographer Brian Nevins were taking part in the protests at Standing Rock. The woman dressed in her tribal feathers and colors was carrying a chalice burning sage as an offering of peace and blessing. It was a total white out blizzard, 40 below zero with the wind chill, but her smile, courage, and sage offering gave strength and warmth to many. We are humbled to have her posture of generosity and forgiveness in part representing the message of this song.
Woo! This song hit me with an intense need to get up and dance. That was a great experience to have and I'm glad you guys gave that to me. Keep up the great work, loving the new music, and this promotes a noble cause.
Amazing to have your music coming out again, especially these days. It's a necessity to have Dispatch's sound and message when facing these troubling days. Thanks for this and can't wait for your album to come out, guys!
love this song so much. can't get it out of my head. question-- did chad write (the first draft) of all the songs on this album? I know he's become the de facto band leader, but was just curious if any of the songs of the album started as Braddigan or Pete songs.
I. Have. Missed. Your. Music. So. MUCH! Brilliant album. Brilliant band. I still remember jam session with my buddy covering Two Coins, The General, and Open Up in middle school. About to hit 33 and you haven't lost an ounce. Never stop making music.
Nice song guys :) go on with your great music. Heard u in my car radio in germany/berlin. Fell in love with this song in less then a second. You made my day
love this so much! the boys are still bringing great music to our souls, and i can WAIT to see them this summer! i am a survivor of the opioid epidemic too, so i catch a lot of feels to this! keep jammin ny brothers!

Thats deep
Song went right into my ear and is still staying. Very welcome for this intruder, wont regret! 10/10
In my opinion this song should have over a million views but more for us!
This is one of the best blends of Dispatch and State Radio's similar-yet-disparate styles I've ever heard. LOVE THIS SO MUCH!
AMEN. Loving the harder, punkier SR vibes!
Both of the tracks released from this new album are great. Loving the momentum being built for its release. Really, really looking forward to it.
This and Circles Round the Sun are my favorite Dispatch songs
Favorite band and always will be. Great job guys, I love it!!
so happy that you guy's are back together! Missed Dispatch immensely :). my number 1 favorite band!
Perfect song (it`s the 6th time I hear it on repeat) and this video... Just genius! Simple but amazing! Wow guys, well done, once again!!!
Good Deal. NH will always love you.
I. Have. Missed. Your. Music. So. MUCH! Brilliant album. Brilliant band. I still remember jam session with my buddy covering Two Coins, The General, and Open Up in middle school. About to hit 33 and you haven't lost an ounce. Never stop making music.
Nice song guys :) go on with your great music. Heard u in my car radio in germany/berlin. Fell in love with this song in less then a second.
You made my day
Damn! AWESOME SONG!!!
Good to see you guys up and about! :)
Love it! Can't wait for the album
Absolutely amazing.
Dispatch is my bread and butter and this song is my JAM!! Can't wait for tonight ;)
I'm seeing you guys in Indianapolis this June. Can't wait!
This song is so wickedly awesome. Love its energy, edginess and rhythm.
Love it.
Thanks Kurt!
This tune is killer!!!
Brilliant! Don't forget that you get a free signed poster if you preorder this album. Two songs in and it sounds amazing.
This is such a crazy cool sound. It's like a mix of the more recent stuff and something off Who Are We Living For?.
Great track! Looking forward to this at Redrocks and Telluride.
100k!! Never thought 15 years ago you guys would get so big so very awesome!!
sealed the deal on me pre-ordering the new album. sounds great boys
I dig it. It'll be interesting to hear this live without all the production put into this version.
Brad Fuerst I think I'd prefer that version
love this so much! the boys are still bringing great music to our souls, and i can WAIT to see them this summer! i am a survivor of the opioid epidemic too, so i catch a lot of feels to this! keep jammin ny brothers!
Love it
So good. Pete's bass has a kinda RHCP vibe to it!
Wash out your mouth. 😜
definitely different sound, but has the same feel dispatch has always had. can't get enough of it actually.
I love your music work
Amazing! I love it
Looking forward to this album. :)
Aw we recognize, see it in your eyes
See it in your eyes, all the lies of the megaphone
We know who you are, we're not very far
We're not very far, we're the cop and the criminal
Aw we recognize, aw we recognize
See it in your eyes, all the lies of the megaphone
We know who you are, we know who you are
We're not very far, we're the cop and the criminal
Skin the rabbit, skin skin the rabbit
There's a lot of people saying that we're grieving about the track that we're on
Skin the rabbit, skin skin the rabbit
Makes you wonder about the faces and the aces that have crawled up the arm
Skin the rabbit, can you turn my gold to wine?
Stone to stone, the needle and the eye
Oil in the sand, a gun in every hand
A gun in every hand and we die like the buffalo
Feel it in the dawn, won't be very long
Won't be very long, in the age of the methadone
Oil in the sand, oil in the sand
A gun in every hand and we die like the buffalo
Feel it in the dawn, feel it in the dawn
Won't be very long, in the age of the methadone
Skin the rabbit, skin skin the rabbit
There's a lot of people saying that we're grieving about the track that we're on
Skin the rabbit, skin skin the rabbit
Makes you wonder about the faces and the aces that have crawled up the arm
Skin the rabbit, can you turn my gold to wine?
Stone to stone, the needle and the eye
Is there anyone else?
Is there anyone else?
Is there anyone else who can
Who can read my mind
Who can read my mind
Who can read my mind 'cause it's no longer mine
Skin the rabbit, skin skin the rabbit
There's a lot of people saying that we're grieving about the track that we're on
Skin the rabbit, skin skin the rabbit
Makes you wonder about the faces and the aces that have crawled up the arm
Skin the rabbit, can you turn my gold to wine?
Stone to stone, the needle and the eye
Skin the rabbit, skin skin the rabbit
There's a lot of people saying that we're grieving about the track that we're on
Skin the rabbit, skin skin the rabbit
Makes you wonder about the faces and the aces that have crawled up the arm
Skin the rabbit, can you turn my gold to wine?
Stone to stone, the needle and the eye
How far down the rabbit hole should I go? Far enough to Skin The Rabbit; shed my skin, disrobe the empire. The emperor wears no clothes.
Even though I disagree with some of the political stances you guys take, I'll always be a fan. Your music is timeless.
Sawyer Fulks I 100 agree, love these guys since my brother showed me them in early 2000.
Mason I don't think he disagrees with the song, just some of the standpoints the band takes in politics.
"I'm only interested in your thoughts." Obviously a zombie trying to be sneaky!
Im sure i've heard the melody of this songs chorus in somewhere. Where is it sampled from?
🙌
my friend steffie a german girl played this over and over again ..and now I do
am i right in hearing a bunch of biblical references in there? throw the first stone, eye of the needle, log in the eye, water to wine?
Tab for the main riff?
# SKIN ALL RABBITS!
Pretty sure this is what you'd get if Paul Simon and Rob Zombie wrote a song together.
ah
