A HORSE CALLED WAR

About Me

Five mates from a shit hole town got together in Nov 05' to simply have a good time playing the music they are most passionate about. Started playing locally in Jan 06'. Put on some powerful, energetic shows and pissed off a few unsuspecting scene kids. Recorded a demo in June 06'. Demo receives good reviews from places like Stonerrock.com, Ninehertz.co.uk, Rockmidgets.com, Load of Noise. Calculon records offer to release next recording. Mikey leaves the band. Haydn saddles up, jumps on the horse. Hit the studio in July 07'. Booked some shows further a field with some awesome bands. EP released on Calculon Records, go get yourself some!
