HOLD YOUR HORSE IS

SO i wrote about these guys a while back on last.fm... in return they sent me some of their songs (actually all of them i think). And because i'm a complete media slut i decided to give them exsposure (but not really because only like 20 people read this blog)



Hold Your Horse Is are a thee piece indie/post hardcore band from the uk
They have some math-y elements and some of their songs remind me of Shapes and Mutiny on the bounty (no wonder kev from BSM likes them)

Their name is pretty cool, taken from the name of a Hella album. They aren't incredibly similar to hella though, less experimental and noise-y, perhaps a bit more accesible and in line with the current uk scene.

They're a bit different from the other mathsy bands in the uk at the moment. I'm not sure how to describe their sound really though, its definately got post hardcore elements with dark, pacing and roaring, disjointed guitar lines and a frantic rhythm... The vocals however are quite subdued compared to the music, sounding almost spoken over at points, (reminiscent of 90s indie bands like pavement), works quite well though in my opinion. This is "the shit" in the best possible way

Buy there music and "merch" here
