Horsepower

Two promising DIY tracks from this young English band with a jagged, quirky, post-hardcore edge. The basis of their sound seems to draw on the history of post-hardcore taking in the fuzzy 90s American sound heard from Jawbox and the very British melodic heaviness of naughties bands like Million Dead, then they add an extra layer of quirky, jagged guitar so that we end up somewhere between Minus The Bear, Million Dead and These Arms Are Snakes. Both tracks are really solid; ‘Lost The Magic’ chugs in with immediately heavy beats and off kilter guitars but also has a great melody and ‘Broken Sound’ turns the awkward rhythm of the beginning into the base for a super catchy but nicely thunderous tune. Two cracking tunes, hopefully we’ll be hearing more from this lot very soon.
