Food for Animals were an American hip hop group formed in 2001 near Washington, D.C. The group featured Vulture Voltaire (Andrew Field-Pickering), Ricky Rabbit (Nick Rivetti), Dr. Dan (Daniel Helmer), and HY (Sterling Warren). Their music was generally categorized as underground hip hop with a strong tendency towards noise music. According to Pitchfork, their latest albums feature a sound best appreciated by "those with a high tolerance for serial grime and a taste for the sharper, harder edge of hip-hop".[1]

History

Field Pickering, a Washington, D.C. DJ, and Ricky Rabbit[2] formed the band [3] and quickly booked gigs along the East Coast,[4] shows which occasionally caused comparisons with Public Enemy[5] and found praise from critics.[6]
