MAN ROCK

About Me

Horses draws on the members' various DIY, discordant and punk/hardcore pursuits and East Coast folklore to create a unique brand of rock and roll storytelling. Using minimalist instrumentation and the dynamic aggression of punk rock, soul, and Touch and Go-era indie rock, Horses play music that is simple and honest, deliberate and calculated. Drawing on a songwriting tradition that spans from Bruce Springsteen to Joe Strummer to Woody Guthrie, the band's songs speak to an underlying desperation and discontent that runs through the most earnest threads of popular music. Ultimately, Horses strives to connect to the songwriting traditions that stand the test of time.

We hope you like it.
