History
Formed by vocalist László Huszár and bassist Maurits Koelen, the duo quickly added drummer JP Koelen and guitarist Tjebbe Vlieg to complete the original line-up of Kaninchen. After their first gig however, the band decided an additional guitarist, to create a broader sound, was needed. Eventually it would be Joshua Snow (The Confidants) to fill that spot. By the end of 2005, however, Tjebbe Vlieg left on friendly terms with the band, feeling bluesrock was the direction he himself would personally like to head in. By the end of 2006, Joshua Snow decided to leave the band on friendly terms, the main reason being to work on his "The Confidants" project. Quickly, Kaninchen found a new lead guitarist in the person of Ilja "The String Strangler", and made a musical move towards the hardcore genre, while still maintaining the rawness of the hardrock they had been playing and the innovative style that had marked the band since its beginnings.
