Since forming back in 2008 Pulled Apart From Horses
have had an interesting journey in the rock scene
where they have currently released two studio
albums and caused mayhem at cities and venues
across the country with their well known hectic
live schedule which has seen more than a few visits
to the hospital for the band, as well as their
own headline shows in toilet sized venues the
band have also supported the likes of Biffy Clyro,
Muse, Foals and many others at massive venues
across the UK.
Recently Pulled Apart By Horses announced that
their third studio album ‘Blood’ is
scheduled for release on the 1st September yet
in the meantime they have just unleashed their
brand new single ‘Hot Squash’ which
is not officially released until the 23rd June
yet the song is so good that they couldn’t
keep it from their fans for any longer.
‘Hot Squash’ is a big rocking bouncy
number and one that the band claim to be their
personal take on the hypnotic desert rock scene
and you just have to listen to the first 20-30
seconds to start to feel that. The more you listen
to ‘Hot Squash’ the more accessible
the song becomes sounding like Queens Of The Stone
Age crossed with Them Crooked Vultures in places,
vocally Tom Hudson seems to be in a better place
here as he instantly grabs your attention yet
the hectic screams and shouts that you have come
to expect from him are literally nonexistent as
he takes a more mature approach with his vocals.
I sense that album number three will see Pulled
Apart By Horses head in a slightly different direction
than in the past and if ‘Hot Squash’
is anything to go by then September the 1st couldn’t
come quicker for the hardcore Pulled Apart By
Horses fans as they have seriously delivered something
quite special here.
5/5
