From the Horsells mouth...

There's an awsome trio based in melbourne, they've been around for a good few years honing their craft with several blistering EP's, they play anthemic hard rock flavoured with hardcore ... they swing guitars about and make all sorts of angsty noises with the fury of The Nation Blue and the severity of The Mark of Cain but add to that the choruses of someone like Gyroscope.

Im talking about the mighty 'Horsell Common'. Probably like my favourite melboure band. Nay, one of my favourite aussie bands. They've FINALLY dropped their full length album 'The Rescue' and its great...
They have a blog too... http://horsellcommon.blogspot.com/ so go have a peek and tell what ya think about stuff! This track is from the record and it fully ripps... play it loud...

And since i gave the Mark of Cain' comparison.. (sadly many wont remember them!) i feel it only right to share the love: Retaliate (best song on the 2001 head smasher 'This is This'.) Now Antiskeptic (*and our previous bands) owe a lot to the stlyings of these boys from a-town. Big stoppy-starty 6/8 grooves, staggered 7/8 riffs and what not... mmm meaty. I dont know if Horsell also tip the hat to them but my ears hear some similarities and thats good to me!! More Than Kind


And thats my blogging done for today. Im feeling pretty excited at the mo' cos we just got some shows in Thailand next month and NewZealand in January. We're going O/S yall...here's hoping for more!
