Pulled Apart By Horses - Saturday, August 18th '12

'Surely the best live band in Britain' said the observer. 'Pulled Apart by Horses' could be a sick torture method or the name of a new rock consortium from Leeds of west riding. 'Momentum has been building steadily over the past year for PABH and the band have quickly grabbed attention from the likes of Radio 1's Huw Stephens and Steve Lamacq, the NME, Artrocker and the inquisitive minds of some of Britain's most recognizable indie labels. The band only began in Feb 2008 and things have moved more than quickly for them so far. Their sometimes angular but mostly aggressive, amp-melting blend of rock riffs and contemporary alt-noise has seen them climb to the top of Leeds' musical pile and establish themselves as one of the most essential new acts in Britain. They also blew crowds away at this years Leeds & Reading festival after being asked by Radio 1. Influences remain scarce but from the outlook of the set up of this 4-piece it could be suggested that you'll be in for a disco rock hammering with a large dose of hard riffing and yelping vocalities.
